This is fascinating because this is such a new field and somehow they are going to hire 100 tenure-track faculty in the next 5 years who specialize in it. And yet when asked to fill spots with faculty of color/women/marginalized groups, administrators often cry about how the pipelines don't exist.

I found this pic in a Virginia Beach FB group, but I don’t know who to credit for this image of Poseidon - an oceanfront attraction - during this past week’s snow. I just like it.

I call this one “Office Hours.”
But seriously, I’m holding my first set of office hours. A first: I’m teaching an undergraduate & grad version of Black women’s rhetoric this semester. I have some sharp thinkers. We'll begin Parable of the Sower next week.
Happy Spring 2025.

Yeah. It’s time to bring back the memoir course.
“Memoir isn’t just about memory; it’s about using fictive tools to enrich our relationship with reality. At least, it can enrich that relationship…
All memoirs don’t mean us well. Some works of art were sent here to kill us.”
