The K-SAA Communications Team

 Through the Blog, Twitter feed, and virtual events, the Communications Team seeks to build an engaged and inclusive community focused on the immediate circles of Keats and the Shelleys, as well as many others writing in the first decades of the nineteenth century. The Comms Team publicizes initiatives by the Board such as annual members’ meetings and virtual events such as a recent roundtable on anti-racist Romanticism; collaborates with Board members to plan outreach projects; and generates conversation through the Blog and social media. Blog posts and other initiatives examine not only the writing and legacy of Romantic-era authors, but also their entanglements with broader historical forces such as commercial culture, the Haitian and French Revolutions, imperial conquest, and slavery and abolition. We also highlight recent essays, reviews, and interviews from the Keats-Shelley Journal here and in the soon-to-launch K-SJ+ section of the website. We warmly invite engagement and submissions from students, teachers, professors, independent scholars, creatives, and anyone interested in Romantic-era literature in its most capacious sense. The Communications Team is committed to anti-racist and inclusive social media practices, and we welcome your feedback on maintaining safe online spaces. Do you have any questions, concerns or comments? Please get in touch!
