That's a wrap! Thank you to our incredible presenters. Every paper reminded us that slop and nostalgia define the present moment. And thank you to our respondents for bringing it all together: if slop slips right through our hands, the texture of nostalgia gives us something to hold onto.
I have new respect for slop now, weirdly.

We'll begin at 10:30 am EST with our SLOP panel featuring papers by Tina Kendall, Scott Selisker @sselisker.bsky.social, Gustavo Daudt Fischer, and a joint presentation by Kyla Yein and Thomas Noya.
After a short break, we'll turn to our NOSTALGIA panel. Presenters include Ryan Cordell @ryancordell.org, Sabina Fazli, Tegan Pyke @tegan.online, Justine Provino, and Travis L. Wager @drtlwagner.bsky.social
