UC Santa Cruz Literature Professor John Jordan today announced an endowment drive to support the Dickens Project at UC Santa Cruz.
Jordan, director and co-founder of the Dickens Project, shared the news at the annual Dickens Universe gathering now taking place on campus–a unique weeklong event that is part festival, book club, academic conference, and summer camp.
Running this year at UC Santa Cruz from August 3-9, the Dickens Universe brings together a wide array of participants from across the country–ranging from college faculty and students, to high school teachers and anyone else with an inclination or yearning to study Dickens.
