Humanities programs, and the writing programs often housed within, are under threat for reasons that are as much political as they are economic. It is not simply a question of whether humanities degrees or writing skills reward students with economic value or how much revenue humanities faculty bring to an institution, but of what humanities programs and writing classes teach: critical histories, texts that capture the perspectives of the oppressed, and how to think critically about complicated social, political, and historical events.

Institute of English Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London

Monday, 9 December 2024

The Institute of English Studies invites proposals for a symposium exploring the impact of postwar migration on British cultural institutions. This one-day event will be held at Senate House, University of London on December 9th, 2024.

The transnational turn in modernist studies has helped generate important scholarly works— Modernist Fiction, Cosmopolitanism and the Politics of Community (Jessica Berman, Cambridge UP, 2001),  Geomodernisms: Race, Modernism, Modernity (edited by Laura Doyle and Laura Winkiel, Indiana UP, 2005), Cosmopolitan Style: Modernism Beyond the Nation (Rebecca Walkowitz, Columbia UP, 2006), The Oxford Handbook of Global Modernisms (edited by Mark Wollaeger and Matt Eatough, Oxford UP, 2012), Chimeras of Form (Aarthi Vadde, Columbia UP, 2016), and many other publications— over the last two decades which have examined how modernism transcends national borders and reveals the aporias of nationhood.
