job losses are no joke, but the epic steelworking imagery in the news today is giving Star Wars.

It’s finally happening!! Cambridge’s newest journal, Public Humanities, is an open access journal at the intersection of humanities scholarship and public life. Submissions are now open for its inaugural Manifesto Issue, edited by journal co-founders Zoe Hope Bulaitis and Jeffrey R. Wilson.

Some actual bright and wonderful news from academia—huge thanks to @zoebulaitis.bsky.social and Jeffrey Wilson for guiding this incredibly needed venue! (And thrilled to be a tiny part of it)
