TWO great opportunities for graduate students in post45 literary studies in 2026! The Post45 Graduate Symposium @ Duke and @post45data.bsky.social’s virtual workshop for research with their data sets.
We're excited to host a virtual workshop where graduate students can present work-in-progress that engages with data from the Post45 Data Collective in some way.

Editors from the P45DC, Public Books, Post45, and the 19th Century DC will be there to offer feedback.

Proposals are due December 1!
DEAR GRAD STUDENTS,

This March @post45data.bsky.social will be holding a free, online mini-workshop for grads working in the fields of contemporary literature and culture.

Post45 keeps crushing it. Sara Kippur gets *into it*. I may be drawn to the chapter on the French avant-garde on US tv, but the work is sharp throughout.

Your periodic reminder that I am now co-editing the Peer Reviewed side of our journal. Send us your best stuff.
