A student came to my office hour in a panic that he didn't have a good paper topic. I asked him to talk about why he was drawn to certain texts this semester, and 15 minutes later, he developed two solid options. I can't wait to see which one he chooses.
Good meeting to end the week!

Reading this for the first time along with my students. What a wild ride, and we're not yet at the halfway point.
Fascinating dives into Chinese history surrounded by intrigue, creepiness, and reincarnation.
Bonkers in the best way!

Watching U.S. institutions systematically cut support to the humanities is like watching a person saw their right arm off.

English and literature faculty, encourage your students to submit if they've written a great paper on Frankenstein, Inferno, The Iliad, House of Usher, etc. So much works with this year's theme!

You've got this!
Fingers crossed for a "revise and resubmit" letter.
Rejections are hard, but readers reports are *usually* helpful and allow you to make improvements.
Sometimes though, they are mean-spirited garbage. I hope you don't get any of those. 🀞 Your advisors will help you if you do.
