Introduction to “Letters from the Field” | Modernism / Modernity Print+
I have been tasked with introducing “Letters from the Field”, a new series of blog correspondences on doing modernist studies while living through climate change and calamities. “Letters from the Field” grows out of conversations that have taken place at online and in-person events organized by the MSA’s Modernism and the Environment special interest group (SIG) over the past

We are very excited to announce that a new series on @moderniststudies.bsky.social's M/m print plus "Modernism, Energy, and Environment" blog--“Letters from the Field,” is now LIVE. It's kicked off by the exceptional words of Sookyoung Lee! Read and share! modernismmodernity.org/forums/posts...

The deadline for the joint BAMS/ MSA conference is fast approaching! It's exactly one month away on December 1, 2025. Please note it's the same deadline for panels, papers, roundtables, and workshop/ seminar proposals. You can propose in-person or online panels/ roundtables (but not hybrids).
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. The CFP is here: www.moderniststudies.org/conference/M...

Friends, please take some time to read Sookyoung Lee's inaugural "Letter from the Field" in the Energy & Environment forum over at @mmodernity.bsky.social Print Plus. Soo asks us to "rethink professional life" as all of our infrastructural systems are either fraying or being weaponized against us:

It's abstract submission time for NAVSA and MSA 2025! And this year you could theoretically attend both. Proposals for workshops and seminars are due in 11 days for MSA 2025 too, and proposals for panels, papers, and roundtables are due in about a month!
Reminder that you have approx two weeks to wait and then panic write an abstract as you eat leftovers over the sink at 11pm
