Was lucky to be in this brilliant company at #MLA23, as we tried to track the twinned processes of racialization & accumulation across the empire's many theaters of dispossession. Hope this conversation continues.

For those of you still riding the #MLA23 #MLA2023 high *and others* please consider submitting something to the Electronic Literature Organization's conference in Coimbra this summer!!! *deadline 1/20*
