This panel is being proposed for the Annual Conference on South Asia 2024. It places hagiographical literatures from the early modern period, i.e. genres extolling the lives of saints, and biographical literatures produced during the colonial period eulogizing lives of ‘great men’ and ‘great women’ as models of behavior in a comparative conversation.

Genre literature and serial production: entertaining literature seems to be the future of the book business, according to Dan Sinykin in his recent study “Big Fiction” (2023), in which he traces how the emergence of large publishing conglomerates has changed literature. He argues that it is primarily those authors who use familiar patterns in their work that have successfully established themselves on the market. 

The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) and the First Nations Confederacy of Cultural Education Centres (FNCCEC) are proud to host the Indigenous History and Heritage Gathering (IHHG). This gathering, presented through the gracious support of Know History, is one of the many important events held during Indigenous History Month. It brings together diverse groups who are working to amplify the distinct stories of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island.

NIU Libraries Regional History Center will host the second annual Northern Illinois Regional History Conference on Saturday April 20, 2024 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Barsema Alumni and Visitors Center on NIU's campus in DeKalb.
