I am currently running an Adoption Reading Group for university faculty and staff of Greater Boston. We’re an informal group, including adopted and non-adopted folks, who are interested in cultural representations of adoption and scholarship on adoption.
Please email me (kr114@wellesley.edu) if you’d like to take part, share your work, or if you’re curious about what the group entails. All are welcome!
Adoption Reading Group
Previous readings have included the graphic memoir Palimpsest by Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom, as well as the film Return to Seoul, dir. Davy Chou.
Future readings likely include Nghi Vo’s The Chosen and the Beautiful, Kimberly McKee’s Adoption Fantasies, and Dorothy Roberts’ Torn Apart.
