In 2026, the MSA Conference will look a bit different-- weird, even! That's because we're having a joint conference with BAMS @modernistudies.bsky.social in Loughborough, UK from July 1- 4, 2026. The CFP will be out soon! But in the meantime, please save the date.

With a million thanks to @stplbrk.bsky.social for the best collegiality ever, I had two incredible days but a bazillion heartbreaking conversations in North Queensland hannahforsyth.substack.com/p/the-world-...
The world is going troppo: and things in universities are not looking up.
This week I went to a *really* good conference with the theme 'Looking Up'. But I was alarmed at the experience of those currently working in universities, many of whom are not able to look up rn.

We are so lucky to have seen Professor Reynolds reflect on his life and work -- an amazing keynote! #AHA2025 #OzHA2025
Henry Reynolds' keynote #AHA2025 was brilliant, funny and direct - and an inspiration for everyone @jcuofficial.bsky.social and @austhistassoc.bsky.social . Big thanks!!! Also to @frankbongiorno.bsky.social for terrific moderation and introduction.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending a floor talk with V&A archivist, Lucy Lead, at the Wedgwood: Artists and Industry exhibition now on at Perc Tucker Regional Gallery.

Clay, art, and history- it ticks all the boxes. You should go and see it before August 24!
