History has judged Cotton Mather harshly when it comes to women, perhaps with good reason. His first published sermon was preached on the execution day of Elizabeth Emerson, convicted of murdering her illegitimate newborn twins. And Mather’s writings are littered with numerous assertions reinforcing the deeply entrenched Puritan notion of the subordination of women. Then, of course, there was the debacle of the witchcraft trials. For these reasons, when people think of Mather today, the word most likely to come to mind is “complicated.”

In recent years, the defacement and toppling of historic monuments by the BLM and other protest movements has filled the headlines and prompted public debates. Monuments are powerful and politicized physical structures that can endure for centuries in city centres.
As the passage of time obscures their original meaning, they can acquire a quality of benign anonymity. However, monuments often embody links to dark pasts and traumatic memory, particularly when statues commemorate one-sided narratives of war, colonization, and slavery.
Please mark your calendar for a March 29-30 symposium at the University of Virginia on “Re-envisioning the Black Sea in Literature and Historiography: Backwater or oikoumenē?” In this moment of Russia’s war against Ukraine, imperial ambitions are once again intruding on the Black Sea region. With the premise that imagining comes first in scripting and enacting a productive future, area cultural critics, writers, and historians diagnose and debate how the Black Sea has been imagined and how it is being envisioned anew in the 21st century.
