Lit &... Conference Delves into Uncanny Doubles, Reclaiming Cultural Narratives, and More

Students from Archer and other Los Angeles high schools gathered in the Library on Thursday, March 10, for the 14th Annual Literature &... Conference. 
 
After opening remarks from Head of School Elizabeth English and Conference Coordinator Lily K. ’22, students from Archer and across the city presented on everything from the uncanny double in Nella Larsen’s “Passing” to reclaiming cultural narratives, modern implications of biotechnology in 20th century dystopian art, Black existentialism, and inconsistencies with Hamlet’s ghost. Congratulations to the Lit &... Conference team and all of the students who participated!
