We are in the midst of the 30th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf,
which for the first time is being held virtually via Zoom. Postponed last year due to COVID-19, the conference began Thursday and runs through tomorrow. There’s still time to get a day pass.
Below we are sharing a selection of tweets found by following the conference hashtag #vwwoolf2021.
Thank you so much @vwoolf2021 & @Bdavidhagen for what was the most heartfelt, humane & moving conference opening I’ve ever attended! Woolfians really are the loveliest people #vwoolf2021

Really fascinating presentation by @MollyVolHall (#AS1) at #vwoolf2021, where she connects English stones & land to English identity & insidious nationalism: “To prevent fascism by foreign invasion, suggests Woolf, one must first become attentive to fascist histories at home.”

The inspirational Beth Rigel Daugherty reflects on how she helped her students find their voices
And on how Woolf’s experience as a tutor at #MorleyCollege gives pause for thought and how Woolf’s practice as a writer provides encouragement. #vwoolf2021

Rozzoni turns to Woolf’s ‘Kew Gardens’ to test out how Woolf’s writing about plants might intervene in contemporary discussions around how we understand plant life #vwoolf2021

Such rich connections @telekineticrose makes between Woolf’s views of motherhood’s effects on creativity and Joni Mitchell’s own experiences and music, indeed! Emphasis on the music: what a treat to listen to some during this presentation. #vwoolf2021 https://t.co/daQyVhsb3T

I’m blown away by these three papers on Woolf, medicine, and illness. Very poignant and robust readings by Micah Hussey, Christopher David Jones, and Emilee Stenson that truly underscore the importance of science and the humanities working together. #vwoolf2021

.@elaerose points out that “Thirty Minutes in a Street” is set on a single day in June and includes a scene where observers look up at a plane – within a month of seeing it Woolf was at work on Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street. Some fascinating connections here! #vwoolf2021

Such fun visiting the Modernisms–Xtended Virtual Gallery Reception! It takes a bit of patience to get in (I had to connect a proper mouse for it to work properly) but it was worth waiting.
Thanks to J. Ashley Foster and her students – great job!#vwoolf2021 pic.twitter.com/bXjBmeCvwJ
