Book Us For A Lecture!
Book Us For A Lecture!
Hello
friends! This post is a catalogue of the lectures that we offer. It will be
updated as we create more lectures. We offer these talks either virtually or
in-person (when possible.) There is not a strict pricing list for our lectures;
we are happy to discuss with your organization and come to a fair price that is
affordable to you. Half of the money will be given to the speaker and half will
go directly back to the Library’s general fund.
Literary Lectures:
The Haunting
of Hill House: A Discussion on Queerness and Conformity
The Haunting of Hill
House is an iconic tale of a haunted house that has endured for decades. But
underneath the walls that don’t line up and the rooms that move is a story
about conformity- or lack thereof. This book is a character study more than a
ghost story, an analysis of a young woman who was never given the chance to be
who she truly is. This 45 minute presentation is an exploration of the
metaphors contained within the shifting stairs of Hill House, and how
specifically it can be seen as an allegory for queerness and grappling with
one’s identity.

Note- These
lectures will be given by Remy, who is a registered nurse, an ER nurse of nearly
10 years’ experience, and holds an MPA from Penn’s Fels Institute of Government.
