UMD has a faculty cluster hire in AI, with humanities and social justice among requested areas of focus! I’m on the search committee and happy to answer any questions I can. Please share! https://t.co/QbTdSx3KTM

@melstanfill I logged into this site for the first time in months and this was what I saw, and... maybe? Also, congrats on book!

[Alexis Lothian @alothian]

@FarBano Yes, although perhaps less indiscriminately now they extended the deadline by a month! I’ll message but likely see if I can make something actively relevant to my own research happen first

[Alexis Lothian @alothian]

I’d love to join a panel proposal for NWSA, if anyone is last-minute looking for a chair, respondent, or panelist! I will be there as DGS and to support students/colleagues, but would love to be on the program. Between Covid and children I have fallen out of the conference loop!

@annamstorti @LauraKina @MelissaBlancoB @outrageous_keva @SasankaJinadasa Congrats Anna! I can’t wait to read this version — I’m so curious how the zoomification of the world has shaped your arguments. <3

[Alexis Lothian @alothian]

@rorhetorician I’m so very, very sorry for your loss.

[Alexis Lothian @alothian]

@unamccormack @howlsmovinglib Yes, please do! Would love to be in conversation.

[Alexis Lothian @alothian]

@unamccormack @howlsmovinglib I’m glad of the recordings because I had to miss most of today due to childcare! But @unamccormack I am also happy to share script and slides with you!

[Alexis Lothian @alothian]
