Speed-walking through a hotel with a Martha Chase hospital doll in tow wasn’t how I’d anticipated spending last week in Kansas City. That said, if you’d told me a year ago that in twelve months I’d go from archival deep dives of exhibition histories to undertaking doll-fueled relay races, I wouldn’t have rolled my eyes… Continue reading My First UFDC Convention

CAA2024
In February, I participated in my third consecutive CAA conference, the annual meeting of the College Art Association. In 2022, I submitted a proposal for an open panel, and shared some of my pedagogy in 2023. This year, I finally shared my dissertation research at CAA2024. I did this by developing a panel with colleagues at… Continue reading CAA2024
Fall Conference: SECAC 2023
Longtime readers who have become familiar with my academic schedule may know that I present at two conferences every year. The choice of conference and the timing may vary, but without fail, I’ve managed to present at two different venues every year since 2019. 2023 has been no exception. In February, I discussed my teaching… Continue reading Fall Conference: SECAC 2023
#CAA2023
Last November, I posted about the conference goals I’ve been checking off since starting the American Studies Program at William & Mary. That post focused on my experiences at the ASA annual meeting, but that’s not the only large conference I’ve been wanting to attend. Last week, I accomplished my goal of going to another… Continue reading #CAA2023
#ASA2022
At the end of my first year at William & Mary, I made a list of objectives I intended to accomplish over the next four years. Among the goals I had set for myself was a series of conferences I’d like to attend to present my research. While I’d presented at conferences before, I was… Continue reading #ASA2022
Labor in the Space Between
Last week I attended my first in-person conference in three years. Titled “Labor in the Space Between,” this event was the annual conference for the Space Between Society, an organization I’ve been involved with since 2019. As the title suggests, the topic of this year’s conference was labor. Since I’d already talked about labor at… Continue reading Labor in the Space Between
CDHC and CAA, 2022
Usually, when I mention conferences on this blog, I talk about the research I presented. This past week though, I participated in two conferences in a different role. Instead of presenting my own research, I served as moderator, helping to provide a space for others to share their work. The first was the annual symposium… Continue reading CDHC and CAA, 2022
The 2021 Conference Season
The pandemic has affected my work in a lot of ways, from the prevalence of Zoom meetings to the limited accessibility of archives, but it’s especially impacted my conference and presentation work. In 2020 and 2021, nearly all of my conference papers were given online, some after significant delays. This past spring, for instance, I… Continue reading The 2021 Conference Season
Space Between 2021
Back in 2019, I wrote about attending my first conference with the Space Between Society. It took place in Brookings, South Dakota that year, and I had a great time. I got a lot of positive feedback on my research, and had the opportunity to connect and network with a variety of excellent scholars, many… Continue reading Space Between 2021
Sharing Virtual Experiences with the Equality Lab and the 2021 CDHC Symposium
Nearly one year ago, I started spending almost all of my time at home due to the pandemic and the resulting needs for stay-at-home orders, mask-wearing, and virtual work. Working at home, however, doesn’t mean I’ve been entirely disconnected from the broader academic communities at William & Mary and beyond. While most of my time… Continue reading Sharing Virtual Experiences with the Equality Lab and the 2021 CDHC Symposium
