Same for literary studies. Non-tenure-track lit studies scholars I know you're out there and publishing articles and books. And if you're tenure-track and know NTT authors, let me know about their work! I can reach out and confirm that they're cool with being listed.
Haven't received as many contributions as usual for this year's lists--could be many things, but one aspect is surely that our ability to get this in front of people is much diminished. If you know folks whose stuff should be on here, please suggest it! contingentmagazine.org/yearly-pub-l...

Business professor here — Whenever parents ask me if I’d recommend my discipline, I’m honest with them. My undergrad is a double major in English Language & English Literature and I know I got more out of it than I would’ve a BBA.
Now a humanities-informed b-school, that would be ideal!!
