MSA 2018 and Lo-Fi Modernism
If you or someone you love is a modernist, chances are, you’ve been hearing the post-conference buzz from MSA 2018 in Columbus last week. Wonderfully organized by Thomas Davis and Jesse Schotter, the conference has already been praised in a thoughtful recap in The Modernist Review by Séan Richardson, Michelle Rada, Patty Argyrides, and Meindert Peters.

Several folks asked for a transcript, but because the slides and written paper are inextricable (and thus difficult to parse without one another), I’ve embedded a screencast below. The written transcript follows, including clickable links to my sources.
