Many thanks to the all the scholars who wrote these wonderful pieces; those who gave their labour towards peer review; and those who read our introduction at various stages of germination. And just in time for this year's AMSN conference in Adelaide!

We would love to hear what your institution is doing to support inclusive teaching. What’s working? What’s not? If you teach in #highered in Australia, please take 10 mins to complete our survey on inclusive practices. Your insights will help shape future policy and support strategies. 👇

Naomi Milthorpe @drmilthorpe.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

University teaching staff are at the heart of creating learning spaces that include and support all students. But to do that well, we need to know what support exists for staff—and how different unis are approaching inclusivity for both students and staff.

Naomi Milthorpe @drmilthorpe.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

The Australian Universities Accord is pushing for fairer outcomes and better support for equity students. So now’s the time to rethink how we teach in ways that actually work for everyone.

Thank you! So many memories of reading this book for the first time in Iain Wright's Modern Novel course, which might have been when we met properly?

I'm exhausted and drained, but what a wonderful few days at AMSN 2024 was! Michelle Cahill discussing and reading from her novel, Daisy and Woolf, was such a grand way to finish, too. Congratulations and thanks to @utasenglish.bsky.social and @drmilthorpe.bsky.social and team for hosting!

We're completely honoured that you came here & talked & shared your research so brilliantly!! 💚

... and a great reflection on 15 years of the AMSN from co-founder Lorraine Sim. It's been a pleasure hosting the Network's 6th conference & having so many amazing scholars and writers come to @utas.edu.au! (though I definitely needed a bucket of 🍷 this evening)

& then a wonderful reading by @michellecahill.bsky.social from her 2023 novel Daisy & Woolf...

Before a morning of banging panels on Joyce, immunity, and work, time, & the event of art; & afternoon panels on politics, fashion, & modern girls...

Naomi Milthorpe @drmilthorpe.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

Last day of "Modernism and modernity at the edge" started (depending on who you were) with a masterclass on life writing led by the brilliant @noreenmasud.bsky.social, or a wander thru the colonial house museum Narryna to ponder the ruptures of history and modernity on this island...

Naomi Milthorpe @drmilthorpe.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Thanks to all the presenters whose papers I saw, and I just wish I'd been able to see all the others. I'm looking forward to what day 3 has in store!

Naomi Milthorpe @drmilthorpe.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Before ending with a splendid plenary conversation with writers working experimentally, here, now, chaired by Jane Rawson from Island magazine (if you haven't picked up any of these books, you should!).

Naomi Milthorpe @drmilthorpe.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Naomi Milthorpe @drmilthorpe.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Moved to an amazing keynote talk from @noreenmasud.bsky.social who brilliantly considered flatness, political and aesthetic engagement, and private experience in Olive Schreiner's writing about the Karoo...

Day 2 of AMSN, "Modernism and modernity at the edge", opened with bracing and wide-ranging panels (Elizabeth von Arnim! Print culture! Limits!)...

Literally towering! And giving great scholarship as always!

Naomi Milthorpe @drmilthorpe.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

... and at the end, over beers, some great high winds giving southern sublime. Onwards to day 2!

Naomi Milthorpe @drmilthorpe.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Plus panel sessions on movements, hauntings, cross-cultural collision, flops, and travellers, including Mark Byron zooming in from afar with characteristic aplomb.
