Social Media

The Dickens Society has an X feed where members can learn about upcoming events and access calls for papers. Do you have publication news and want to announce a new book or article? Are you attending a conference and delivering a paper on Dickens or Victorian topics? Do you have an event you want to promote? Let us know by tagging our account @Dickens_Society!

Or, if you feel more comfortable having our social media editors do that for you, please send news to the Communications Committee chair, Mads Golding, at goldingmads@gmail.com, or to the Society Secretary, Ben Moore, at dickenssocietysecretary@gmail.com, and we will post your announcement, if appropriate.

Also, check out our YouTube channel “The Dickens Society.” Besides following other channels focusing on Victorian and nineteenth-century-related topics, we upload interviews with Dickensian scholars and enthusiasts and create convenient content playlists for Dickensian documentaries, audiobooks, research, film and radio adaptations, and popular culture.

To receive an invite for the Discord account for The Dickens Society, which is moderated by Zhamir Washington, email the Treasurer, Lydia Craig, at lecraig@eiu.edu.

Communications Committee Members: Katie Bell, Céleste Callen, Lydia Craig, Spencer Dodd, Mads Golding, Zhamir Washington.
