Katherine Mansfield: Place and Displacement
Live online course, 18 March to 22 April 2027
Join us for a new course on the short stories of Katherine Mansfield. She grew up in New Zealand, with a period at school in London. As a young adult she moved to live permanently in Europe, especially England, France, and Germany. Mansfield wrote very powerfully about the places in which she lived, and she also has an acute sense of social ‘place’: in the family, in one’s class, in language. She explores how people fit (or not) into their ‘place’ of gender or sexuality, and how they cope with displacement.
These lectures will explore various meanings of place in her writing and the many ways in which people can feel placed, or displaced, in their lives.
Six live online lectures and seminars. Thursdays, 18 March to 22 April 2027
Course fees (include VAT 20%)
£320 full price
£290 students and seniors on a low income
£290 CAMcard holders
£290 Members of the Katherine Mansfield Society
Lecture topics
Gerri Kimber, Early New Zealand stories
Claire Davison, Meanwhile … Elsewhere: Displacement in Mansfield’s stories
Alison Hennegan, Katherine Mansfield and Displaced Persons
Ellie Mitchell, topic to be confirmed shortly
Kate Eliot, Katherine Mansfield and the Stranger
Trudi Tate, Katherine Mansfield and Home
