I'll likely visit the post office 1 more time this year -- so, if you'd like a copy of this book for yourself, your lab, your department, let me know! It's great if you subscribe to my newsletter, but I'm more interested in getting resources in the hands of students. Must be in the U.S. Plz repost!

A reminder that we are open for submissions for our French issue-- deadline January 30. Articles in French or English.
Email MLNJournal@jh.edu with any questions.
Please share with interested colleagues!

Big congratulations!! <3

I have a desperate ask for anyone with access to the University of Minnesota Library!

LLM-generated slop gets through undetected & seems viable because a considerable amount of contemporary mainstream writing (literary & other genres) reads like it was algorithmically-pumped anyway. People writing to imitate a marketing machine is the saddest thing.

if this administration doesn't compel poli-sci departments to at least *consider* hiring someone versed in fan studies methodologies, idk what we are doing here

legit question here! but imho, speaking as a scholar outside both fields, I suspect that fan studies would have a more cogent take on Whatever That Was than anything coming from political science

The news cycle is nuts.

If you know scholars from/studying the MENA region who might benefit from a writing solidarity group, please send them my way. All levels are welcome - grad students, full professors, anyone.

We just finished Week 136 and we had first-timers this week.

Loudly echoing this complaint, and adding to the frustration is the (usually tacit) expectation that parents are supposed to infiltrate these systems themselves in order to have half a clue what is going on in the curriculum. Weekly emails from grade 3; crickets from grade 7.

Are you a fan of the 1978 film THE WIZ? I would LOVE to chat with you about your fandom for a book on THE WIZ. You only need to be 18 years old or older and love the film. DMs open and please share.

What to do w/r/t the influential work of creeps? Important question. In cinema: happy to see a notice this summer in the Musée Carnavalet's exhibition of Agnès Varda's photographs, acknowledging both her early collaborations with Gérard Depardieu & his very recent conviction for sexual assault.

Biggest congratulations to @bilgeyesil.bsky.social for this well-deserved honor!

Love your adaptation & the audience was definitely intrigued! 🙏🏻

they will do raids ON Maundy Thursday & call them reenactments

Remember: they used thousands of academic books too! If you’re a scholar, check for your books too. This isn’t just novelists and pop writers, it’s academic books too!

I would guess that this complaint could still be rooted mostly in cinematography, which I also found too distant. Outside of film nerd circles there is a tendency to conflate CGI--a very specific suite of techniques--with cinematography on the whole.
