There is also a hierarchy of accents, hierarchy of languages and their „beauty”. Macron this week elicited comments from the president when he was speaking French. 3/x

The current president has a history of „not understanding” EFL accents. It happened 3 weeks ago with an Afgan reporter, which went viral, happened on Friday again with an East European journalist. Both were women, too, btw. 2/x

Coming at the 🇺🇦White House „spat” as a literature and languages scholar: the position of English as a foreign language becomes key. Native speakers vs. EFL speakers, clear hierarchies and possible strategies. A small 🧵from an Eastern European non-native speaker of English

And the first review is out!
Spoiler alert: it uses a lot of positive modifiers of Latin origin🤩

NYC people! January 14! Come to Brooklyn Public Library! I’ll be in conversation about „Soviet-Born” 🌷 with Tahneer Oksman.The title may be a little bombastic, but the answer is simple: women, women, women. OK, it’s not that simple.
Hope to see you there!

It was fun yesterday! #SovietBorn🌷
Apparently I do use my hands a lot when talking. And I love props. Thank you to everyone who was there virtually at Jewish Community Library in SF. There is also a recording if you are curious if my gestures make *any*sense!

1000 days since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and close to that since I’ve re-arranged my bookshelves

So one thing is being promoted, (university professor), but another thing is to really feel it. The research group Gender/Sexuality made a poster for me showing its feminist genealogies with me at the center. This was so moving!
Fyi there are only ca. 100 women univ. profs at the Uni of Warsaw

This was a great #SovietBorn event at the Center for Jewish History with Josh Lambert. Recording will be available soon! But for now, please appreciate my bookshelves- in blue and yellow-premiering on this platform!
November 12, 2024 at 10:55 PM
Today! Please join me online for a conversation on my #SovietBorn🌷 with Josh Lambert!

Super thrilled to share the cover of my forthcoming book from Rutgers UP!

Just a reminder in the new academic year that the view from my office is great

It’s happening!

That’s the team! Queer theory in transit grant. After our 💥kick-off workshop last week in Berlin, fittingly under a quote from Marx at Humboldt Uni.

First Polish-German QueerIt project meeting this semester! With an amazing presentation on transnationalism of feminist queer zines by Barbara Dynda. Check out her great article- title below.

3 years, 79.297 words, and 308 pages of the manuscript. Final manuscript for Rutgers UP sent! As I wrote to my editor, it feels like magic. Feels like a good first post here.
