Updated May 2019
As I enter the summer, I have a number of new things on the go. (With my co-editors Rebecca Kastlemann and Kevin Riordan) I have been putting the finishing touches to a new edition of Modernism/Modernity Print Plus on 'Modernist Drama in a Global Context', which should be out later this year. I have completed the final edits on an article on Chekhov translator Elisaveta Fen for Theatre Survey (which will be published in September 2019), and have finished my forthcoming article on wrestling and fakery for Modernism/Modernity (which should be out early 2020). I've also recently completed a collaborative book chapter (with Ben Litherland and Tom Phillips) entitled 'Is this Progress? Punk, Participation and the (Potential) Radical Politics of British Wrestling' for a book on Politics and Wrestling (Seagull Press 2019).
Looking towards the next few years, my co-editor Adrian Curtin and I have a new edited collection proposal on modernist theatre in a contemporary context under publisher's consideration at the moment. This project will enable me to finally write about Ernst Toller, a figure I have admired since my PhD-days. Having recently secured a Modernist Studies Association Travel Grant, I headed out to the Toller archives at Yale University in January 2019, and am currently working my way through the notes I made. I've also recently submitted a new monograph proposal to a publisher: it aims to reappraise modernism through muscular bodies. I am excited to start this new project.
This summer I am giving the keynote at The Space Between conference in South Dakota (check out the conference preview, including an interview with me). I'm also speaking on wrestling and silence at Aberystwyth University on 5th July, so do come along to that if you are in the area.
The Wrestling Resurgence project continues into 2019. Do check out the instagram site if you are interested in attending a show or want to catch up with the best of arthouse wrestling via pay-per-view. The next two shows are in Loughborough (8th June) and Leicester (31st August).
