Constance Furey presented at the University of Toronto’s Department of the Study of Religion’s Lecture Series a talk titled “Unmooring Utopia: Death and Desire in Early Modern Christian Fictions,” discussing the reinterpretation of the relationship between death and desire in Thomas More’s Utopia, a 1516 work that gave its name to literary designs for ideal societies. During her visit, Furey was interviewed by DSR MA student Emily Amos-Wood to talk about Furey’s scholarly work alongside its relationship with the public-facing projects with which she is involved.
