And #wcsa19 made clear to me how little I know of contemporary British WC lit. We all need to be talking -- and reading -- across the ocean more often!
This tweet has made me realise that I don't really know contemporary US fiction very well AT ALL. If any followers have any suggestions, please share!
After a drive past many Dickens-themed shops and no-longer-cabbage fields we got to the friendly seaside town of Ramsgate #wcsa19 #latergram https://t.co/9w6Ycf0qlI
This is (I'm told) the Margate beach shelter where TS Elliot wrote The Waste Land. Seems like of fitting, tho I suspect it wasn't quite so atmospheric back in the day #wcsa19 #latergram https://t.co/XGmconHD8u
Last Monday I got taken on an awesome pre- conference #wcsa19 tour on the Isle of Thanet. I finally learnt why there are all these cool buildings down there. Apparently because Thanet is sand, and when small animalsโฆ https://t.co/LcswXpFik1
Massive thanks to the organisers (& founders) of #WCSA19 โ๐ฝ
Highlights:
Communing with old (& new) friends & colleagues ๐๐ง๐คจ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐ท...
Woop! @billybragg ๐๐ฝ
Ace papers & key note talks โ๐ฝ๐จ๐พโ๐๐ฉ๐ผโ๐๐๐ฝ
(& a โbravoโ for mine from THE John Russo - but idiotically not knowing it was him ๐)
If you missed #WCSA19 you can still check out our amazing keynote speakersโ work! We had the pleasure of hearing from Satnam Virdee author of โRacism, class and the racialised outsiderโ and Diane Reay author of โMiseducation. Inequality, education and the working classesโ
A three hour wait between trains on the way home from an engaging #WCSA19 proves the perfect opportunity to get a bit of work done, cricket in the pub is merely a coincidence!
Had such a good time at the #wcsa19. Loved catching up with some great people, and meeting more amazing folk doing important work. Thanks to everyone for making it a great week and in particular the organisers, @AndyClark22 and the best supervisor in the world @ProfGildart
Just finished the lovely #wcsa19 conference where (besides listening to great papers) I hung out with Billy Bragg, ate beans & mushrooms for breakfast every day, and was excoriated for wearing salmon colored--they're not not pink--pants. A right fine time, England. Cheers.
Just stepped back in the front door after a brilliant #wcsa19. Exhausted but full of ideas for the year ahead (and potential future podcast guests)
I'm so sorry to be missing @wcstudies #WCSA19 but I love all the photos & updates from England! Hope to see everyone at the next conference! @MFazworks @Scott__Henkel @DIndustrialKent @CKdoeswork @sjattfield @ChristieLaunius
Thank you to everyone who came to #WCSA19 @DIndustrialKent for creating such a friendly, supportive and engaging conference.
Key point being made here at #WCSA19 abt using local media to tell these stories about hardship & the many ways that universities fail students from marginalised communities. Doing this can really make universities sit up & make changes b/c ultimately they care abt their brand.
Last session of #WCSA19, hearing abt experiences of financial hardship, classism & a lack of understanding of & empathy from the processes & application forms put in place by senior management. Feel like we need to be telling our students abt this in inductions @DurhamSociology.
One of the most enjoyable and important papers was left till last at #wcsa19 @kat_simmo work on memory, structure of feeling and the โgoodโ was a brilliant way to finish
Katherine Simpson speaks about harnessing ghosts: towards reimagining education in a former coalmining community #WCSA19
@elleschand simply inspirational. Lauren talking about how she and her friend challenged the university of Michigan to offer Class Studies #wcsa19
Still going strong here at #WCSA19
Final session including class paper by @kat_simmo
...Looking at the positive inheritance of working-class values/ culture/ spirit in Yorkshire ex-pit village (against purely negative notion of โsocial hauntingโ).
