[Vwoolf] Virtual and in-person contacts

[Elisa Sparks]

Dear All--

I am hoping that this international social distancing will teach us new ways to stay in touch and exchange ideas.  Frankly, I have been MORE in touch with my colleagues during this enforced isolation than ever before.  And yet, no matter how much pleasure I get from seeing familiar faces and talking to people, I don't feel these virtual contacts are an adequate substitute for the real conviviality  of our annual conferences.  I remain committed to the hope that we will once again be able to meet in person-- with a wider, more inclusive community, extended by the methods of connection we are creating now.

I have been hosting a social get-together via Zoom on the second Thursday of the month, and Ben Hagen, Drew Shannon and Shilo Rae are hosting a Zoom Woolf Salon on the 4th Thursday with more specific research subjects. (E-mail mentioned individuals to be added to invitation lists).  Also, I have been participating regularly in the Literature Cambridge on-line study sessions which connect me to a new group of trans-Atlantic Woolf friends. https://www.literaturecambridge.co.uk/
