@n_hold For staff mine spits out a number when they hire you and then everyone gets the same % raises so the inequities just grow over time. I make less than both the people hired after me into the same job 🙃 so uhh i agree

For @readliberties, I wrote about what "affirmative instrumentality" misses: https://t.co/XFnrK7xt5P

"The absorption of new reading practices developed by humanist intellectuals had profound effects on religious reform, sparking a transition from . . . sacramental to textual forms of participation."

"Hunter’s lucid and innovative book begins from the assumption that play scripts were mined by audiences and readers for examples of eloquence."

@nathankhensley Don't know about the counterfactual, but the value of Harvard in this article seems clear. If even their students are avoiding English, the issue isn't reducible money/career options.

[Sam Fallon @SM_Fallon]

It's funny the way anti-elitism from Ivy and para-Ivy faculty ends up insisting on the difference it pretends to reject. "What could ~Harvard~ have to do with regional publics?" is an exhausting routine.

Very, very, very excited to announce @nashe_thomas' podcast series, The Precarious World of Thomas Nashe, is going live from Monday 6 Feb. You can listen to the trailer, and subscribe to the series, at https://t.co/xn5NOtfw4j. ->

[Sam Fallon @SM_Fallon]

This whole episode--from the circulation of a false allegation for clout to the non-apology smothered in a sense that the right politics permit malicious lies--is incredibly dispiriting.

[ThomasNasheProject @nashe_thomas]

A lot's been happening on the Nashe project and its spinoff, 'Penniless?'. Here's a summary of what the team have been up to: look out for more coming soon.

On whether the language of "calling" is necessarily a mystification, by way of Weber and Wendy Brown. Plus recs from @Parapraxis_Mag, @aeonmag, and @MarginaliaROB's interview with Lorraine Daston. https://t.co/AkVUbv5VAM

This review is just incredible.
