In honor of the bicentennial of Mary Shelley&＃8217;s novel&＃160;Frankenstein, WashU has a line up of speakers and events that begins this week and continues through 2018. On Thursday, Sept. 7, 5 p.m., at Graham Chapel, the Washington University Assembly Series will present playwright&＃160;Nick Dear, who adapted the novel for the Royal National Theatre in London, in conversation with&＃160;Rebecca Messbarger, professor of Romance literatures and languages in Arts & Sciences, and&＃160;Henry Schvey, professor of performing arts in Arts & Sciences. The &＃8220;Frankenstein at 200&＃8221; conference, which takes place Oct. 13, will bring together scholars from several universities and disciplines, including history, philosophy, fine arts, literature, Africana studies and performing arts. Other highlights will include a special Frankenstein issue of&＃160;The Common Reader&＃160;and&＃160;&＃8220;The Curren(t)cy of Frankenstein,&＃8221;&＃160;a symposium sponsored by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, as well as films, lectures, performances and exhibits. In this video,&＃160;Corinna Treitel, associate professor of history in Arts & Sciences &＃8212; and lead organizer for the Center for the Humanities&＃8217;&＃160;&＃8220;Frankenstein at 200&＃8221;&＃160;conference &＃8212; discusses the book&＃8217;s continued power to challenge and inform. &＃8220;Today, &＃8216;Frankenstein&＃8217; offers students and scholars a wonderful opportunity to bring two conversations together,&＃8221; Treitel said. &＃8220;One has to do with the social consequences of recent exciting discoveries in STEM fields. And the other has to do with a conversation about diversity and inclusion, especially the mechanisms of social othering.&＃8221; Frankenstein book cover &＃8220;The creature is the quintessential outsider,&＃8221; Treitel said. Which raises a series of interesting questions: &＃8220;What makes monsters? How does it feel to be a monster? And perhaps most importantly, what do you and I do that helps make monsters?&＃8221; For more information, visit the&＃160;Frankenstein 200&＃160;webpage, follow events on&＃160;Facebook&＃160;and&＃160;Twitter, or search #WUFrank200.

Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” remains a cultural touchstone and a powerful metaphor for the dangers of science unchecked by social responsibility.
