Consider submitting your ideas to an MLA 2026 roundtable on academic and modernist generosities! We're looking for a range of 5-7min papers interrogating ideas of modernism and gifts, pedagogy and (free) labor, the generosity of text, and if/how generosity can become a politics of resistance.

Is there a name for this style of midcentury commercial illustration? Darker palette, modest abstraction, vertical lines of brushwork (?) that suggest curtains or rain or even dripping wax, depending on setting. It shows up in magazines & on album covers, paintings of rainy urban nights. I love it.

One more note about this call for an MSA ombudsperson: nominees can also be in academic-adjacent positions or former academics too. As long as they're familiar with academic conferences and able to attend the conference, they would be a viable candidate. Please DM with any questions.

I wrote this short piece a few years ago on Anthropocene fires, art’s value, & what modernity’s artifacts allow us to see and not see about the climate crisis. Our disasters are always unique, always reruns.

Zora Neale Hurston was born on this day, January 7, 1891. She died penniless on January 28, 1960 and was buried in an unmarked grave. This passage, from her famed 1937 novel, Their Eyes Were watching God, seems especially pertinent at this moment. 1/
