In October Zo毛 Sutherland will take up a research fellowship at the International Center for Humanities and Social Change at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she will continue her work on the interconnections between legal philosophy and imaginative literature, as part of an interdisciplinary team addressing issues around 'Fact and Value - after Truth'. Zo毛 studies the role of poetic making in how individuals come to know and value each other in the early modern period, as this relates to questions of freedom and equality in our own, a subject she will offer a course on at UCSB in the spring.
