Ann Snitow May 9, 1943-August 10, 2019 Ann Snitow, a founding faculty member of Lang College and the creator of the Gender Studies Program at the New School, passed away on August 10, 2019. She was a beloved member of the Literary Studies faculty. While indeed her books and essays are crucial texts in feminist studies and in the life of the mind, as Literary Studies colleagues our remembrances here are more personal, testaments not just to her work but to the power of her being.

Congratulations to Dr. Julie Beth Napolin, recipient of the annual J.H. Stape Prize for best essay with “Music’s Unseen Body: Cowell, Conrad, Du Bois, and the Beginnings of American Experimental Music,” published in Conradiana (vol. 48 nos. 2-3).
From the author:
This essay unseats the traditional origin story of American experimental music as “organized sound” that moves from Henry Cowell to his student John Cage and to minimalism. It traverses a diasporic vibration.
Published in 2020, the essay was part of the 2017 “Conradian Crosscurrents: Creativity and Critique Conference” at Fordham University. The special issue of Conradiana (vol. 48 nos. 2-3) also features essays by Adriana Cavarero, James Clifford, and J. Hillis Miller.
