I can't decide which I enjoy more: watching #TheGildedAge or reading all the Reddit comments abt it. Julian Fellowes has not disappointed this season & viewers are having so much fun!

Susan Brownmiller has died. AGAINST OUR WILL, published 50 years ago this fall, was a landmark book about rape and misogyny that shaped so much subsequent scholarship.

So grateful for #NEPCA still doing a virtual conference. Wish more academic conferences had even a hybrid option. High fees & accessibility issues exclude too many of us from sharing work w/ colleagues. Plus, this conference is always fun & supportive!
