A student came to my office hour in a panic that he didn't have a good paper topic. I asked him to talk about why he was drawn to certain texts this semester, and 15 minutes later, he developed two solid options. I can't wait to see which one he chooses.
Good meeting to end the week!

Reading this for the first time along with my students. What a wild ride, and we're not yet at the halfway point.
Fascinating dives into Chinese history surrounded by intrigue, creepiness, and reincarnation.
Bonkers in the best way!

Watching U.S. institutions systematically cut support to the humanities is like watching a person saw their right arm off.

English and literature faculty, encourage your students to submit if they've written a great paper on Frankenstein, Inferno, The Iliad, House of Usher, etc. So much works with this year's theme!

Katie Jones & I are looking for a few chapters on early-C20 non-canonical literature (modernism-adjacent?) for this proposed collection. We'd like these to be diverse in terms of understandings of British Literature by race/ethnicity/geography. call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/cfp/2023/10/...
