Overjoyed to get to present for the 7th time at NYU’s Music and the Moving Image conference, as well as chairing panels feat. work by truly inspirational colleagues. Having attended MaMI annually since 2019, it never fails to wholly enliven me and remind me why I do what I do. @stefanxgc.bsky.social

Guest lecturing in an adaptation class based around the Nibelungenlied, and I'm talking about LOTR adaptations—Jackson's, Bakshi's, Zeppelin's references, Shore's Symphony, and the War of Rohirrim (we'll see how much I get to lol)

Feels very weird to post anything celebratory these days, but here goes: thrilled to announce my student and I were accepted to NACVGM to present on organizing a video game ensemble at a uni, and that I was accepted to Hanyang University's "Audible Futures" conference. Finally going to Korea!

Advice for early career scholars: overcite. Mostly because it makes finding citations you'll be using later on a lot easier to find. Even if editors/advisors make you cut things, those citations will be in early drafts, at least~
