For this #ModWrite I did a translation piece during the (post)Tartu conference workshop. A rough Chinese version of Gwendolyn B. Bennett’s “Streetlamps in Early Spring”. I found it’s hard to preserve the imagery when translating adjectives. Some lines are muddled; some meaning gets lost inevitably.

This #ModWrite, I’m still working on the one-day short story by Lin Huiyin as part of a parallel reading with Mrs Dalloway. The Woolf section has been done, and I’m now at the very last bit of Lin’s experiment with & against imagined simultaneity. Hoping the whole chapter comes together well. 🍀🪽

For #modwrite I'm finishing a note for @theparishreview.bsky.social on a "new" Myles na Gopaleen article I discovered

Myles wrote "Cultural Affairs" for a 1953 issue of The Statist (a financial mag à la The Economist) on "The Economy of Ireland"

Interesting for his views on Irish culture & economy

This #ModWrite is literally a ModTeach - just had a quick meeting with a student in my PTA class on Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth. We had a quick review of the section on native culture and literature of combat, and read it with Stuart Hall’s chapter on race and dominance.

This #ModWrite I’m thinking back on the #MLA2025 last week. So much enjoyed the panel Woolf&Skepticism. Thanks Amy&Shilo for organising this!! Loved all questions and feedback I got. Thanks to those brilliant people who’d love to read my paper afterwards. See many of you later this year at Sussex!!

What happened this week:
- a celebratory event for the Dean’s award on Monday
- #NWiMS14 at UEA. Met with BAMS exec committee, other reps, and peers. 🥰 Chaired a panel on geomodernisms. Attended fascinating sessions and had wonderful discussions. So many valuable takeaways from yesterday. 💓

Writing my abstract for #VWoolf2025 and misread the word count - mistook 1500 characters for 1500 words. 🤣🤣Got shocked for one second, chatted with a friend, got corrected and off the “rollercoaster”. Now I’m back to writing about (another kind of) shock and dissidence. Lol.

The British Museum puts Woolf with Marcus Garvey, Karl Marx, and Sun Yat-sen together in the reading room - somehow resonating with 2025 Woolf conference’s theme “dissidence”. #VWoolf2025
