🧵 PAST & CURRENT WORK 🧵

As my research is going into a different direction, the work that I did as a doctoral student is gradually getting published. This is a thread on my work so far & on what is already out there to read!

Tommy Tuberville tweets: Thankfully, Christmas is BACK under President Trump. There's a photo of him standing with his wife at a party. He's wearing a dinner suit. A close-up of his shirt shows black dress studs and white visible white button. An arrow is pointing to it with the word "diversity."

Y a-t-il des travaux sur la transformation du métier de conseiller bancaire ? Il y a l'exemple célèbre de Bessen sur cmt les distributeurs de billets n'ont pas supprimé d'emplois chez les guichetiers, car ils sont devenus conseillers. Mais il s'arrête en 2015... Il y a des choses nouvelles ? 🤔🤔

I'm not surprised he's French and I'm not surprised he's a dude. This is the symptom of everything that is wrong in French academia where your worthiness is measured in: 1. how critical and (violently) negative you are about your colleagues' work, 2. how many pages you can write.

An academic disliked an Oxford Very Short Introduction (145 pages) in his field so much that he wrote a 200 page book review attacking it. www.pierre-legrand.com/ewExternalFi...

A positive experience with research applications today: it appears that more research bodies and units are questioning quantity-driven publications and are changing the way they evaluate academic relevance 👏

Speakers of French: the professional categorie of "cadre" I find tricky to translate. I'd say that this could be translated as the professional managerial class, but this feels anachronistic. What do you do?

Absolutely outrageous what is happening to modern language departments in the UK. Nottingham is known for the quality of its French department. Please sign the petition:

From AULC, we stand in solidarity with colleagues at University of Nottingham. We want to share this petition by a student highlighting how suspending all Modern Languages undergraduate programmes affects the whole academic community: www.change.org/p/stop-the-r...

in RADIO BOOS geeft ze toe dat er sprake was van kinderarbeid én waarom ze haar kinderen van 5 en 12 nog steeds inzet om geld te verdienen.

In an installation, entitled "Have you met my friend?", I am in dialogue with Didier Éribon to address the inequality that women face in academia and intellectual life.

In the installation, I used Troy Vettese's piece on sexism in the academy, putting it on the walls in King's College (Cambridge)
