Please join us this October at Rice University for MSA3, the third annual
conference of the Modernist Studies Association. The MSA is devoted to the
study of the arts in their social, political, cultural, and intellectual
contexts from the late-nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth
century. The conference is an international and interdisciplinary forum
that seeks to promote exchange among scholars in this revitalized and
rapidly expanding field.
This years plenary speakers are Homi Bhabha (Harvard University), Barbara
Hernstein Smith (Duke University), Andreas Huyssen (Columbia University),
Martin Jay (Univ. of California-Berkeley), Vera Kutzinski (Yale
University), and Ramon Saldivar (Stanford University).
In addition to planaries and panels, the MSA conferences feature seminars.

beforehand. We still have a few spaces available in the following seminars:
