Hey @matthewlevay.bsky.social —You did a great job as MSA program chair—it was a great conference—THANK YOU! ❤️💙💛 @moderniststudies.bsky.social

Had a preview of this last week at the @moderniststudies.bsky.social conference, and can't wait to teach with it!

today’s #ModWrite is a slow return to a UK time zone, but reflecting on the wonderful papers at MSA 25 @moderniststudies.bsky.social & the joy of presenting strategic incompetencies with @becimay.bsky.social, @vjoshuaadams.bsky.social, @jamesreath.bsky.social, Megan Quigley & Jess Payn

Don't know if I'll be able to make it to the UK next summer — hope so, tho, bc this is exactly my field of study: weird modernism and/or the intersections of modernism and weird fiction.

A few notes and highlights from my MSA 2025. The Baroness and Djuna Barnes; Marianne Moore; H.D. and Bryher; Anticolonial manifestoes; South Asian modernism. And: remembering Sejal Sutaria. @moderniststudies.bsky.social @ria4983.bsky.social www.electrostani.com/2025/10/note...

Did you know the next MSA Conference in the UK will be a joint conference with BAMS @modernistudies.bsky.social? And if you can't make it to the UK next summer, there will be opportunities to present in online panels and roundtables at this conference. More information in the CFP:

We summon you to wilds of Loughborough, modernists!

Now that the amazing and insanely full MSA Boston conference is over, I'm just making sure the place in NYC where EE Cummings would bellow YOU ALRIGHT DJUNA to Barnes across the way is still there (it's there) @moderniststudies.bsky.social

Believe it or not, it's already time to think about MSA 2026 in Loughborough, UK. The conference will meet July 1-4, and proposals for panels, papers, roundtables, workshops, and seminars is December 1. Please note this MUCH earlier deadline.

So many thanks to the organizers of @moderniststudies.bsky.social Boston 2025 - so many great conversations and new ideas. And I have the perfect book for the return journey!

"Shall I ask them to rebuild the college on the old lines? Or shall I ask them to rebuild it, but differently? Or shall I ask them to buy rags and petrol and Bryant & May’s matches and burn the college to the ground?" —Virginia Woolf matthewcheney.net/blog/on-not-...

This is my paper from the 2025 @moderniststudies.bsky.social conference in Boston, just finishing up today. It was heartening to be able to have thoughtful discussions with folks about the difficult, painful realities of higher education today.

Today's first author pic comes from the @moderniststudies.bsky.social conference where @utexaspress.bsky.social author Shiben Banerji stopped by to pose with his book, Lineages of the Global City. #msa2025
