| Description | The Modern and Contemporary fortnightly workshop (Mod Con) is a well-attended workshop for PhD students and staff from all CUSO universities. The workshop is popular among doctoral students and early career scholars from the CUSO network. The workshop is a valuable space for the exchange of ideas between doctoral students working on modern and contemporary literatures of the English-speaking world. The 2025 programme will include talks, workshops and professionalisation seminars and it will remain an important space for work-in-progress papers from doctoral students. |

This session is in anticipation of a planned March 2026 workshop by Prof. Tsitsi Ella Jaji, “When Words Meet Music: Notes on Translation, Collaboration, and Diverse Audiences.” We will discuss Prof. Jaji’s chapter “Stereomodernism: Amplifying the Black Atlantic,” alongside the corresponding audio resources (cf. Chapter 1) available on the companion website. Attendees are invited to bring a short text and/or recording that is in dialogue with the chapter or invites further exploration of the chapter’s questions: “Just what kind of solidarity can be generated by music? Or literature?” |
