Wearing my professional hat:

sx salon (an open-access platform for Caribbean creative and other writing) welcomes submissions for upcoming issue on Francophone Caribbean literature, broadly construed. We're particularly interested in work on and by lesser-known writers and from less-often-represented sites (such as St Martin and French Guiana) and in work that goes beyond the familiar in content, theme and style.

I am circulating a CFP for an edited volume on the #ChurchofEngland / #AnglicanChurch in the #Caribbean. There is a publisher on board.

I am particularly interested in reaching emerging scholars and scholars with cultural ties to the Caribbean. If you would like a copy of the CFP to share, or for yourself, please DM me and I'll send you an email address you can reach me at.

Thank you.

Check out this innovative project!

According to Dr. Schuyler Esprit, the interactive database includes "works from 1800 to the present and is searchable by author, country, language and genre, with special visualizations for publication locations and notations for translations."

I know that the strong connections - incl the linguistic connections - between Gullah Geechee people and Caribbean people are well (tho probably still incompletely) documented. And yet, when I go to the website of the Gullah Museum in SC and one of their pages is titled "Look Ya" my heart still stutters a little bit. That is precisely how Jamaicans would say the same thing: Look here, or Check this out.

I don't do a lot of professional stuff on here, but -- because it was a long time in the works and because I'm so proud of it -- today I'm happy to announce the publication of the latest issue of sx salon, an open-access web-based Caribbean literary journal and part of the Small Axe project: http://smallaxe.net/sxsalon

Doing my #introduction here! PhD candidate at Yale, working in #caribbeanstudies & #ComparativeLiterature (that’s in order of my priorities, yes). I think of myself as a frustrated, belated historian who just happens to work with cultural and literary texts. I’m also just starting out with some #digitalhumanities ideas. Hoping to find my old twitter connections here soon—to new conversations and communities!

Very grateful my university still buys books for me (not assuming this will last forever), and delighted as always to receive my Duke UP fall-sale haul. Look at these beauties!

Just switched servers to the humanities commons one, so doing #introduction again. First , thank you to the hcommons crew this space. Server is running wonderfully. I'm Alex, by now one of the new olds of #digitalhumanities I think. Interested in #caribbeanstudies #bookhistory #minicomp #publichumanities #digitalhistory #libraries. Here's hoping we create a good more paused alternative to Twitter here.
