[The English Institute @EI_English]

Don’t forget to register for the 80th Meeting of The English Institute, happening this Friday and Saturday at Yale! 80 YEARS is a BFD—don’t you want to be a part of it?! Come for the Catastrophe, stay for the Conversation. https://t.co/515uNvRb2i

[The English Institute @EI_English]

@palepalladin No sorry. It’s always been a FTF thing, which is why it’s only been cancelled twice in 80 years—once for WWII and once for Covid. Next year it’ll be in Chicago, and the year after at Irvine if that helps!

[The English Institute @EI_English]

VERY excited to announce the line-up of extraordinary speakers for the 80th meeting of The English Institute at Yale University, September 22-23, 2023. Our topic is CATASTROPHE. But #EI2023 will be a dream. Put us on your calendar now! And retweet like mad.

THE CONVERSATION ™️

[The English Institute @EI_English]

Cannot wait for day two of #EI2022. Sadly, David Marriott is ill and won’t be joining us, so we’ll begin with breakfast at 10:00, followed by Yoon Sun Lee at 10:45 + THE CONVERSATION + lunch-time taco truck + Shonni Enelow + Sianne Ngai + RECEPTION. See you soon, geeks! ❤️

@yonina @JKramnick @theshapeofform And we love to see a long-time devotee—now with TT job!—shepherd a new flock of graduate students around the EI. Grateful for your devotion Dr. Hoffman.❤️

Let’s do this!

[The English Institute @EI_English]

@imp_lise Oh this is so sad! What a loss.

[The English Institute @EI_English]

ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL EI 2022 @ IRVINE! Don't miss the brilliant talks, the conversation, the sunshine, tacos and wine. Can't wait to see everyone! (I am quite near-sighted so make sure you come up close to say hello!) Register now at: https://t.co/FO7OTTS11N

[The English Institute @EI_English]

@mervatim I wish! We don’t have the infrastructure at the moment. It’s a handful of us holding things together. Maybe in the future it’ll be possible. Meanwhile, we’ll be at Yale in September 2023, so see you then?

[The English Institute @EI_English]

Register for the second ever West coast meeting of the English Institute! The doors will be open throughout, and mingling will take place en plein air. There’s no better way to ease yourself back into the face-to-faceness of collective thinking. https://t.co/C10lLYjSqh

[The English Institute @EI_English]

@ajwyman YES! I promise you will have a great time—come look for me (my name is Sandra Macpherson).
