Are you looking to join a panel for Weird Modernisms in Loughborough, UK next summer? This one on weird epistemologies might be for you!
@jocularfowl.bsky.social and I are proposing a "weird epistemologies" panel for the @modernistudies.bsky.social Weird Modernisms conference! We're looking for an addition to our panel though, so if you're interested please shoot either of us a message!

Cannibalism and modernism! It might not get weirder than this! Submit your abstract to this panel and join us in Loughborough for Weird Modernisms.
If your take on "Weird Modernisms" includes cannibalism, consider submitting an abstract for an MSA 2026 panel I'd like to propose: "When Humans are On the Menu: Cannibalism and Modernity." Check it out below! @moderniststudies.bsky.social @modernistudies.bsky.social

The deadline for proposals for BAMS/ MSA in Loughborough is just TWO weeks away. It's going to be a great conference with lots of opportunities to socialize and the usual MSA panels, roundtables, workshops, seminars. If you can't join us in person, submit a proposal for an online panel/ roundtable.
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.
