This weekend we dedicated the Franco Institute, a reimagined research institute at ND of which I am the founding director. Our mission is to fund great research, and to work both locally and beyond to make the case for the public good of the liberal arts. It’s a great time to be doing this work.

1/2: I won’t be at MLA this year for the first time in years, but if you are, I hope you’ll check out the Post*45 books at the Stanford UP booth! We had three great titles come out in 2024, by Adrienne Brown, Adam Kelly, and Shane Boyle.

I got to write about things I like: Freud, 80s computers, and @katemarshall.bsky.social's treatment of genre. Plus one I dislike: academic trend.
Check out the whole "interlocutions" cluster, also featuring @ericafretwell.bsky.social and Thomas Constantinesco.

Ok so I legit hate podcasts but I make an exception for this one because it's honestly incredible work. Come for the surprising audio of a university president actually coming out in favor of learning, stay for the brilliant analysis linking shifts in literary criticism to the history of economics
Please listen to “The Chicago Fight,” if for no other reason than to be reminded that what’s happening to WVU has a century-long backstory & reactionary oligarchs have been attacking students & humanities faculty that whole time.
