The Post-Structuralist Diaries: a witty rom-com about a middle-aged woman who's ready to settle into a life of Althusserian pessimism when she reads the late work of Michel Foucault and begins asking how WE shape the institutions.

Among things to be grateful for: opportunities to engage with international graduate students on my campus and around the world. I can't wait to head to Germany to meet new scholars of literary realism.

Childhood, IMHO, is for reading books in beanbag chairs.
Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.

I had the pleasure of teaching these women 19th-Century American Women Writers. Few made it to the finish line. College is hard and prison is brutal. But these women did receive their BAs, and everyone who participated (especially me) got the lesson of a lifetime.
Six students at a Lusk prison graduated with University of Wyoming bachelor’s degrees earlier this month. They were the first group to reach this milestone under a program that offers higher education to incarcerated people.

Unpopular opinion: people in the nineteenth century read more, so they wrote better.
Sometimes you read an article in the Atlantic from, like, 1876 and it's just mind blowing how good and accessible and *alive* the prose is.
