Hope to see you soon!

This is happening tomorrow, and I hope you'll join us! We have a few prepared thoughts, but mostly it's a chance for contingent/independent scholars to pool ideas and strategies for research funding!

Yes! Calling SFF people interested or just curious about modernisms, broadly understood.

Please come! We'd love to swap ideas with you!

The MSA Committee of Contingent/Independent Scholars is holding a Zoom roundtable on Tues., Aug. 26, 4pm EST on “Funding and Support Off the Tenure Track and in the Face of Increasing Precarity” w/ @nissaren.bsky.social, Emily Bloom, and @chollis.bsky.social Email [email protected] for Zoom link!

Come share your thoughts and experiences finding funding as a contingent scholar with us this coming Tuesday!!

Who wants to do a panel with me but our panel is a seance asking the ghosts of modernists random anachronistic questions? Like: Gertrude, do you see a white dress or a blue dress? Ezra, f*ck marry kill, Mussolini, Putin, Dump?

Oddballs unite for a Euro summer!
