Thrilled to have the hard copy of this fantastic book from @karismjones.bsky.social & @scottstorm.bsky.social! Though I’m already very familiar with their scholarship, reading how they’ve framed their work for classroom Ts is inspiring. A fantastic example of research🤝practice. Highly recommend!

Creating intersections between Ss interests & complex disciplinary content always reminds me how much we underestimate teens.

Just had a Ss submit an 8-minute video essay using Freud, Lacan, & Jung to interpret Donnie Darko. Both the content & use of form were 🔥.

**Obligatory conference afterglow post**

Conferences are about two things: people and ideas. This is true whether you’re listening to a comedian deliver a keynote, presenting the latest in #literacies research with friends, or accidentally closing down the hotel bar. Thanks for the mems, #NCTE24!

So excited to be shipping up to Boston tomorrow for #NCTE24! My sessions this year are reflective of my ongoing journey to explore the intersections between the rich tradition of literary studies and the dynamic worlds of critical, digital, and multimodal #literacies. Come by!
