Join us for another online iteration of the Archive/Counter-Archive Working Papers Series (WPS), which brings together PhD students and graduate researchers from different universities to hear about exciting work in the area of archival studies. Our next event is a roundtable discussion featuring A/CA postdoctoral researchers Erika Biddle, Axelle Demus, Ylenia Olibet, and Mikhel Proulx. Each participant will give brief presentations of their most recent or current research and creative projects, followed by a collective discussion about the early stages of their postdocs, including how they arrived to their current position, their independent practices outside this context (curation, publishing, and artistic practices), and how these practices may connect and/or diverge from their future research. The discussion and Q&A will be moderated by WPS student organizers, Em Barton and Elina Lex.
