COVE is committed to using our annotation tool to facilitate the exchange of ideas without the egregious costs of conference travel. Building on EVENT 2024, which used COVE to share papers from participants, COVE Conversations will run a series of panels in which we read (and comment) on each other's scholarly work. For each, there is also an optional Zoom session to further conversation, but the heart of the event is reading and annotation. All are welcome to these free events! To join, email coveeditions@gmail.com requesting access. Here is a list of past and upcoming panels:
