I'm participating in the The Virtual Materiality of Texts: Book History during a Pandemic colloquium on November 20 1-4:30pm EST. The list of presenters is pretty amazing, so I hope you can join us for at least part of this event. Maybe after you spend quality time at the 2nd BSA Collective panel. (hint, hint) Details and registration info: https://history.princeton.edu//colloquium-virtual-material A virtual colloquium on teaching, reading, and research in the time of Covid...-19 Co-Sponsored by: Committee for the Study of Books & Media, Committee for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies, and Rutgers University Initiative for the Book. The global pandemic and consequent ‘lockdown’ in most nations around the world have affected academic activity across all disciplines, but the impact has been especially profound for scholars whose research and teaching depend on accessibility to material texts and media. Yet, these unexpected challenges have also opened new opportunities. The purpose of this one-day colloquium is to provide the basis for discussion among scholars of book, manuscript and media history about the status of the field during this moment of difficulty in accessing archival resources, and to share experiences and ideas for teaching and research with material texts in the time of Covid-19. 1 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. | Welcome & Panel 1 | "Learning and Teaching through the Screen" Leah Price (Rutgers University) | Book Learning, Hands-Off? Jesse Erickson (University of Delaware) | "Proximal Surrogates: Reimagining Bibliographic Spatiality in Domestic Research Interiors" Tia Blassingame (Scripps College) | "Scripps College Press: Teaching, Learning, & Making Meaning Remotely" 3 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. | Panel II | "Closed Archives, Open Access" Nigel Smith (Princeton University) | "Scan and Deliver! Archives in the Pandemic" Whittney Trettien (University of Pennsylvania) | "Piecing Together Manuscripts, Digitally" Emmanuel Bourbouhakis (Princeton University) | "Does Byzantine Palaeography Have An Image Problem?" #teaching #printmaking #onlineteaching #bookhistory #library #curriculum #materiality #pandemic

Once again donating stamps to @LiberationLibrary. This time lovely Gwen Ifill stamps. Consider donating stamps. "The United States Postal Service (USPS) is essential to Liberation Library’s work. Every month, we utilize USPS’s services to ship our boxes of books to incarcerated youth in a cost-effective way, and will even receive individual requests for books mailed to us through USPS. While incarcerated young people use the USPS frequently, they have to use their own money t...o mail letters. And with COVID restricting in-person visits, communication with friends and family is more essential than ever. In order to support the USPS and our readers, we are asking for donations of sheets of stamps, so that we can give them to young people incarcerated across Illinois. Donations can be mailed to our offices: Liberation Library c/o In These Times 2040 N Milwaukee Ave Chicago IL 60625"
