I’m looking forward to more dev on the OP platform w @mdalmau.bsky.social & Sean Purcell bc they’re both brilliant writing partners. The @libraryleadpipe.bsky.social & outside referee experience was a model for generous peer review. Now to get Part II out there in the world!
Proud to serve as the publishing editor for this fantastic piece. The authors position refusal as an ethical/methodological stance for working with "materials that depend on the objectification of, and through that objectification the commodification of, human subjects." It's a must read!

Today’s @nytimes.com story about the Cal State strike. I am begging you to email me or do any research. They have $8.6 billion in cash and investments and $2.5 billion in reserves. THERE IS NO DEFICIT. Interview me! I will send you links! Care about nearly 500k students as much as fake plagiarism!

And here's what I feel quite certain about:

1. I will have contracts for two books (one collaboratively written/edited with @dan-sinnamon.bsky.social) in the next few months from absolute dream presses. I have won major awards and fellowships, including for teaching. I don't deserve this. And--

I fell into a full-time NTT clinical-faculty appointment at IU 8 years ago. About a month ago, I submitted a dossier for tenure after a reclassification of the work I do (tenuredossier.kalanicraig.com). I have many feelings about what that means. A thread 1/X
