And that's a wrap on #WeirdModernisms! Thank you so much to everyone who took part and especially to all from @moderniststudies.bsky.social, @modernistudies.bsky.social, and the Loughborough local organising committee for their hard work to produce this wonderfully weird conference! 💐

What a wonderful final seminar-style send-off in the #WeirdModernisms conference! This one was *weirdly* special in a lot of ways 🫶🏼 - Scenes from "Unsettling Multilingualism in Global Modernism" workshop #multilingualism #globalmodernisms @moderniststudies.bsky.social @modernistudies.bsky.social

Day 3: and the wonderful sessions and panels at #WeirdModernisms continue! This morning, we took part in a workshop on "Mapping Religion in the Global Anglophone Novel" - exploring methods and pedagogies of reading religion within fiction! @moderniststudies.bsky.social #religionstudies #workshop

Today we dropped into “Uncanny Encounters in Asian Modernisms”, an invigorating panel with talks ranging from exoticized premodern Japan, to sound in Woolf and Bae Suah, to Chinatowns in (post)colonial Singapore.The panel asks: What can “Asian modernisms” mean? Where does it wobble? #WeirdModernisms

The #WeirdModernisms conference kicked off this morning with its first keynote address by Dr Nisha Ramayya ((Queen Mary, University of London) with a full house! @moderniststudies.bsky.social

Registration is open, and lively chats are already happening! The campus is looking its best and ready to welcome everyone for #WeirdModernisms. See you soon on campus everyone! @moderniststudies.bsky.social @lborouniversity.bsky.social
