Thank you for your contribution to the special issue and to today’s conversation @briannajc.bsky.social. I learned and was inspired. What a good way to close out the semester.
Had a fantastic time presenting and learning from colleagues! Now it’s time to stay warm during grading (or ungrading!) season ❄️☕️

Thank you @tanyagoldman.bsky.social for attending and being part of the conversation. I wish we would have had more time to talk. It was definitely one of the highlights of my semester being in a virtual room with so many dedicated teacher/scholars.

Friends! This week, Rowan's Gender Affirming Wardrobe project is running a fundraising campaign at giving.rowan.edu/project/48526. If you can, maybe toss in a couple bucks to help this project organize donations and buy things that don't/shouldn't get donated (like binders and makeup).
Gender Affirming Wardrobe
Help Rowan University raise $1,000 for the project: Gender Affirming Wardrobe. Your gift will make a difference!

Just Published: For the latest @jcmsjournal.bsky.social issue, Mal Ahern and I co-edited an In Focus dossier on 'Images and (Infra)structures,' which originally emerged from a lively @scmstudies.bsky.social roundtable in 2022. What, we ask, do images and infrastructure have to say to each other?

Had the pleasure of chatting with my friend Anita Afonu before seeing "The Eyes of Ghana" at Doc NYC yesterday. Not only does she appear in the film championing Ghanaian film preservation, she worked as a producer on the film. You can watch "Eyes of Ghana" online until Nov. 30 here: lnkd.in/egCNfxxP

The Gilded Age is an absolutely ridiculous show…and I’ve watched every minute of it.
By far, its most trenchant social analysis is the scene where Ms Thing goes to Brooklyn to perform her little conspicuous condescending charity. I think of those shoes all the time.
