Remembering an acclaimed author
The life and achievements of acclaimed international author and 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide graduate Hazel Rowley will be commemorated at a special event in the Barr Smith Library on Saturday 19 November. The School of Humanities will host a one-day symposium in honour of the award-winning biographer, who died in March aged 59. Head of Humanities Professor Jean Fornasiero said the event would highlight the breadth of Rowley's work, touching on subjects close to her heart: biography, existentialism, feminism and social justice and freedom. Guest speakers will include internationally known biographers Brian Boyd and Mary Ann Caws and tributes will be paid to Rowley, including a play reading inspired by one of her great role models, Simone de Beauvoir. Rowley earned global recognition for four outstanding biographies, as well as many essays on social and literary questions. She had a BA Honours in French and German Studies from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, as well as a PhD in French Studies. A comprehensive overview of her life was published in the Winter 2011 edition of Lumen and can be found online at: To register for the Lives of Hazel Rowley event go to:
