The International Association of Literary Semantics (IALS) is a scholarly organisation aiming to advance understanding of the bases of literary meaning.
Well, #IALS2024 was fantastic. It was a delight to host the conference @UniKent and hear so many outstanding papers. A massive thank you to all who attended, and in particular to our keynote speakers @HazelLinguist (@SalfordUni) and Merja Polvinen (@helsinkiuni). 1/3
I was so impressed with the brand new #QuillandDice tent as part of @FolkEast over the weekend! The tent ran a series of author/illustrator-led drawing workshops, creative writing sessions and book craft, among other exciting events ✨

We are looking for two colleagues to act as President and Treasurer and to take the Association on into the future. If you are interested in either of these roles or know off someone who might be, please send a DM to this account. 2/3
Jeremy and Chloe will continue in the roles until replacements are found. We are also looking for an institution to host the next conference, although we have had one kind offer already. Again, if it's of interest, send a message. See you all again soon! Onwards! 3/3 End.
Setting off for the IALS conference at the excellent @KentELLyeah University of Kent - a Canterbury tale will follow - and my first ever International Association of @LitSemantics gig.
