Fwd: Please announce to members of CAA Affiliated Assoc MSA6

>Dear Colleagues,
>
>As chair of the international relations committee for the modernist 
>studies association, I would like to ask that you post this announcement 
>to your members (if you have a listserv, website, or newsletter). The 
>conference has been successful in incorporating scholarship from a dynamic 
>range of disciplines (like art history) but also areas, especially 
>comparative and region-specific panels. The annual conference for the 
>modernist studies association (this year in Vancouver) has a great format, 
>with both seminars and panels. This is different from the format of the 
>college art association meeting, in that the seminars are open enrollment, 
>peer discussions around a specific theme and the panels are proposed 
>already formed to the conference committee. In the past, I have found this 
>conference, and the organization, to be great opportunities for scholarly 
>exchange, and for meeting colleagues from a range of disciplines with 
>shared interests.
>
>If you have any questions about the msa, or would like further information 
>before posting the information, please don't hesitate to contact me. The 
>official journal for the msa is modernism/modernity and the organizations 
>web page is: http://msa.press.jhu.edu/
>
>Thank you.

>Sincerely,
>Jordana Mendelson
