The Humanities must firmly reject AI taking over our classrooms, our pedagogy. It’s the only way.

Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.

MAs in English w Funding

years ago the V21 Collective & Jennifer Doyle started a database of funded MA programs in English. It's still a fantastic resource for helping students find chances to remove themselves, if just for a year or two, from the maelstrom of fully commodified life

Hi again Victorianist peeps! It's lovely to follow so many folks doing such fascinating work. Also to see lots of old friends. I'm re-upping this because VIC has been so quiet lately, and yet it's a great place for longer-form C19 queries, answers, and discussions than can easily be posted here.
