Cusp. 3.2 is now up on Project Muse muse.jhu.edu/issue/55539 with a fantastic cluster on cosmopolitanism edited by @shinjinichatto.bsky.social and articles by Bassam Sidiki (on racialized quarantine) and Caylee Weintraub (on deep-sea ecology) as well as an interview with Tom Crewe
The cluster contains incisive pieces on Victorian and modernist cosmopolitanism by Joshua Brorby, Tim Clarke, Yasmin Akhter, Chandrica Barua, and Philip Tsang, and closes with an afterword by Stefano Evangelista. The issue is open access. muse.jhu.edu/issue/55539

Received my contributor's copy this morning. What a great way to start the day! Thank you so much to brilliant editors @georginanugent.bsky.social and @samslote.bsky.social. Can't wait to read the other chapters!
Put together a wee modernism/contemporary lit Starter Pack (because there simply wasn't not enough research/teaching prep/admin/housework to keep me occupied)
DM me if I've made any glaring omissions or besmirched your good name by implying that you're a modernist
