There’s no secrecy, but it is an explicitly interdisciplinary edited collection that as noted before deals with the various intersections of music and literature, along the axis of class. Thanks for your interest!

Hi Kate,

It isn’t all about women composers. Rather it is a set of interdisciplinary, essays about music, literature, and class.

Thank you, Kate and I will keep an eye on what you are up to. And if and when our edited collection gets accepted, I’ll be sure to send you a copy of my essay on Lehman . Her In Memoriam setting is utterly brilliant.

Linda K Hughes @lindakhughes.bsky.social · Apr 1

Can you share your recent publications on Lehmann? I have written an essay on her setting of In Memoriam in a collection under consideration for publication. I have of course read Sophie Fuller on this composer, but would enjoy knowing what else you have done. The Dowie connection is fascinating.

This is a very helpful thread re: the slashing of overhead rates on NIH grants. It is an atrocity and, as OP states, an attempt to decimate higher ed. This guidance goes into effect immediately, affecting not only future but also current grants, which is to say current university budgets.

Carl T. Bergstrom @carlbergstrom.com · Feb 8

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

Today is the 61st anniversary of the assassination of John F Kennedy. May we get back to visions of social justice that prevailed during his election that Doris Kearns Goodwin details so beautifully in her latest book.
