I loved collaborating with my academic sibling @nathankhensley.bsky.social (along with some of my very favorite Victorianists) to recognize the work of our fantastic advisor and mentor Kathy Psomiades. Read her book!

VISAWUS 2025 in St. Louis was so wonderful. Thanks to Anne Stiles and @profneilh.bsky.social for all of their organizing work and @badvictorianist.bsky.social for the amazing magic lantern show.

It was so great getting to spend time with you! Hope to talk more at future conferences and that you will submit your work to Cusp.

The deadline for submissions to the next Northeast Victorian Studies Association conference is just two weeks away! Just because the theme is “Silences”doesn’t mean you should let this CFP pass by you in silence—go ahead and submit!

Congratulations!!!
