Farewell!

The Digital Writing and Research Lab retired Zeugma at the end of its 2014-2015 season, but our archives will remain available on this site going forward. Thank you to all the guests who joined us over the years and especially to all the DWRL staff members who worked so hard to make Zeugma a success.

This infographic recaps Zeugma's three-year run. A transcription is provided following the image.
