The 2019 Johnson Lecture in Modern Languages will be held by Professor Priscilla Layne (UNC, Chapel Hill).

Prof. Layne will present her research in progress on Michael Götting's novella Contrapunctus (2015). This novel follows a group of Afro-Germans in contemporary Berlin who slip into alternate worlds. Layne will discuss these alternate worlds as an Afro-Futurist device to explore Germany's colonial past.
