I am making local arrangements for the Midwest Conference on
British Studies which will be held in Ann Arbor on November 3-4.
One of the speakers, Thomas Velek, has obtained a position in
Minsk (!); although he had the funds to travel from the UK to the US,
Minsk to Detroit is another matter.
Is there any interest at other colleges and universities in
Michigan/Ohio/Ontario in having Prof. Velek visit and lecture? He could
certainly use honoraria in aid of his travel expenses.
Please contact me if you can offer assistance or have suggestions.
