Still thinking about #NECS2025 in Lisbon last week. It was an honor to present on the panel "Socialism Goes Global: Cold War Geopolitics Beyond Europe" with @cheryldueck.bsky.social, Deniz Göktürk, and Balázs Varga. More in Montpellier? [Photo credit: @nwbaer.bsky.social]

After exploring the beautiful city of Lisbon with Maggie @hennefem.bsky.social, I'm ready for #NECS2025 to begin!

For anyone who needs a boost

Ready for #SCMS2025!

The legendary film scholar Linda Williams died yesterday. I'm honored to call her a mentor. She was both larger than life and entirely human. Here she is, belting show tunes with her grad students upon her retirement. Linda, you're the top!

Earlier this week, a panel of visitors from CNN generously shared their experience with my class. What a treat! Thanks to Isabel Rosales, Ben Tinker, Jonathan Hawkins, and, of course, @cnn.com! (Photo credit goes to my student.)

My students are asking great questions about AI and TV production today. Other topics they brought up: environmental impact, labor, creativity, copyright and data, authenticity, humanity.

Taught @brunoguarana.bsky.social 's interview with Lynn Spigel from @filmquarterly.bsky.social again yesterday. What a great, teachable text that gives students new ways to think about TV history! Also a fine example of the academic interview genre.

This will be a TV show, and I will watch at least the pilot.

Friendly neighborhood cat, RJ, was very serious about getting his pets this morning, after a few days of rain had kept him mostly inside. We were happy to oblige. #cats
