On By HarrisonIn Events, WritingsLeave a comment

My short story, “Falling”—a gothic horror retelling of Frank Lloyd Wright’s construction of the Fallingwater house—will be published this month in the indie short story anthology “Tales from the Deep” from KC’s Flying Ketchup Press.

Join our virtual launch party w/ readings from the book on Saturday, October 22 at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT. Register for the event here.

In the next couple of weeks, I’ll post information on how to buy the book, which will be available from Amazon in paperback and ebook.

It’s been three years since the story was accepted for publication, so it’s with great joy that I share this news.

Upcoming lecture at CVAR: “The City In-Between: Competing visions for the image of Limassol”

On By HarrisonIn Events, LectureLeave a comment

As my last big initiative in Cyprus this year, I’ll be giving a presentation on some of my Fulbright research at 6:30 pm on Thursday, June 16 in the CVAR museum in the old city of Nicosia.

The lecture is titled, “The City In-Between: Competing visions for the image of Limassol,” and consists of a narrative collage about the Cypriot city which has rapidly transformed from a sleepy seaside village into the “Dubai of the Mediterranean.” The lecture is co-organized by the CVAR, the Cyprus Institute, and held with the support of the Active Citizens Fund. If you’re in Cyprus, I hope to see you there!

Join us on the 4th of May for the “Delivering Views #29: Trio” launch event in Nicosia

On By HarrisonIn Events, News, WritingsLeave a comment

Even in a time of transitions, we can still strive for deeper literary and artistic connection with our surroundings.

Janan Alexandra, Caroline Sager, and I—the three of us Fulbright fellows in Cyprus—are proud to present “Trio,” a chapbook featuring Janan’s poetry, Caroline’s photographs, and my short story “Silent G” (the last in English and in Greek translation) as part of the 29th volume in the “Delivering Views” series brought to you by Phaneromenis70, a cultural center in Nicosia, Cyprus.

Delivering Views is a series that publishes the thoughts and creative work of people who come from outside Cyprus and consider the island’s unique situation.

If you are able, join us at 6 pm on the 4th of May at Phaneromenis70 in the old city of Nicosia for our launch event. After the event, the publication will be available for sale online and in person at the cultural center. The book and its associated postcards—crafted from Caroline Sager’s singular 35 mm film photographs—will be on display at the center until the 18th of May.

More details can be found here, on the Facebook event.

We are so grateful for this collaboration with Phaneromenis70 and the opportunity to share our work with the city we have called home for the past eight months. We’d love to see you there!

It was a pleasure and an honor to be featured as a panelist on the Princeton University Office of International Programs’ Fulbright Alumni Panel last week alongside fellow Tiger alumni Cecilia Hsu ’20 and Winston Lie ’20.

I am grateful to Princeton OIP for all the advice they gave me during my undergraduate career and I am very happy to return the favor. I hope my experiences can be helpful to current students who are thinking of applying to the Fulbright program.

On By HarrisonIn Events, WritingsLeave a comment

I’m grateful for having had the opportunity to present my paper, “Southwestern Fantasy: The Strange Case of Pueblo Revival Architecture in New Mexico,” for the 2021 Architectural Humanities Research Association (AHRA) conference “Region” at Loughborough University, UK.

Though the conference was virtual, I’m very glad for being able to “attend” and learn from so many exciting scholars in the field of architecture and urban studies. You can browse from a list of the conference’s abstracts here.
