The Taste of Reading, and the Spell
of Writing

 

Jill Ker Conway, author, scholar, and former president of Smith College

In her presentation, Jill Ker Conway will discuss literacy as we understand
it today. She will recall her own first encounters with print at age 5 and
then consider the “altered mental states” of writers literally under the
spell of words.
