Enjoyed learning about Lorca's archives & this exhibition at today's Iberian Modernist Studies Forum organized by @nicolasfmedina.bsky.social via @bostonu.bsky.social. The website has a nice bilingual brochure/folleto that would be great for classes: www.centrofedericogarcialorca.es/en/actividad...

Finally finished 2 books I started "for fun" back in Feb... I appreciated La bajamar's diff narrative voices & impact of the closing narrative😢; Las desdichadas (a monologue) reminded me of San Manuel Bueno, mártir, but focused on gendered/classed nature of doubt via a 1912 rural midwife👩‍🍼

Such a great article on AI & #HigherEd by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social -- eliminating expertise, delegitimizing degrees, demoralization, and the fantasy of controlling learning, without investing in how real (messy, creative, nonlinear!) learning actually happens www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/o...
