The new episode of the Cinematologists is a collaboration with the BFI Chantal Akerman retrospective - Adventures in Perception. We discuss the impact of @sightsoundmag.bsky.social poll result but reflect on her legacy beyond the groundbreaking Jeanne Dielman:

I got mad at the New York Times after their editorial board released an opinion piece condemning Trump's anti-trans EOs and I decided to write about how the paper of record laundered transphobia into the mainstream and paved the road for Trump's transphobia. www.patreon.com/posts/nyt-ed...

What does it mean to write a book as a contingent scholar? It means to do something that's already hard enough on its own, but also to do it without the (admittedly eroding) supports of full-time tenure-track employment--time, funding, library access, and a steady job.

Recognize this work. 🗃️

If you’re working on a topic related to academic publishing and might be interested in writing a short-from monograph like Matt’s, I’d be very happy to discuss a proposal with you (as editor of the academic strand in the CUP Publishing and Book Culture series). In the meantime do read Matt’s book!

Dear Editors — If you’re considering publishing an article about issues related to transgender people, then perhaps you should consider assigning that article to a transgender journalist. Don’t have any transgender journalists in your newsroom?

@transjournalists.org has several valuable resources:
Trans Journalists Association
Promoting more accurate, nuanced coverage of trans issues and communities in the media. Supporting gender-expansive journalists in their careers.
