Prof. Cooper Harriss traveled to Skørping, Denmark to participate in the 21st biannual meeting of the International Society of Religion, Literature, and Culture, hosted by Aarhus University, on September 5-8. Prof. Harriss presented research that draws on early blues records’ accounts of and responses to the 1927 Mississippi River flood to frame the Norwegian novelist Karl Ove Knausgaard’s adaptations of the Genesis flood story as he narrated it from the perspective of Noah’s family, left to go down in the flood.
