"Universities, at their best, are so close to being utopian spaces, but the ideal version of the university I have at times experienced may soon become utopian in the sense of being unreal — that is, existing in no place." Andrea Crow writes: https://t.co/4Bc6OY2gyf

THE SHINING was released 43 years ago today. Not a huge success on its release, it has gone down as one of Stanley Kubrick’s most popular films and most influential horror movies ever made. The behind the scenes story is as outrageous as you might expect…

YEA! Just announced - the Folger will be reopening on November 17th 2023. (Not sure what that means about scholars coming in for research, but we'll no doubt find out soon).

[Emil Ferris @Emilferrisdraws]

I'm really pleased and very honored to be working with Lisa Lucas @likaluca and Zach Phillips @zachybabes on two new books that will be published by @PantheonBooks! (Special thanks to Markus Hoffman)

[Anders Greene-Crow (they/he) @andygreenecrow]

Oh hell yes. Can't wait for this to come out.

In this SNEAK PEEK of Book2 Karen references one of her (our) favorite paintings, 'The Nightmare' by the great Henri Fuseli (which is on display at the glorious Detroit Institute of Arts!)

Hey academics! Do you have side hustles? If so, what are they?

Had an eye-opening chat with some assistant profs from working class backgrounds and each of them had a side hustle to make ends meet/save for a down payment for a house/support parents.

Please read this thread to learn how to provide real support to trans and nonbinary people rather than throw shade from the sidelines. We need your allyship in this.

you can’t get students today to read the faerie queene. the errancy of romance is just in too much tension with epic’s linear teleology for gen z sensibilities. “why did this knight pour out in looseness on the grassy ground,” they wince in disgust. “it doesn’t advance the plot!”

@bjirish @Peter_Atterton What Peter said! It's the Rule of First Possession -- very old and fundamental common law concept.

It is incredibly naive to maintain that the mission of UP publishing, such as it exists, can ever remain untouched by UP publishing's material interests in its own existence and survival within the neoliberal academic system

[Anders Greene-Crow (they/he) @andygreenecrow]

@byjennytan You’re the best! Thanks for saying this.

[byjennytan.bsky.social @byjennytan]

It is absolutely NOT the fault of authors that publishing pays pennies, nor their responsibility to improve our working conditions. But neither is it the fault of UPs that the profession demands labor from scholars for which it refuses to properly compensate them.

[byjennytan.bsky.social @byjennytan]

In the case of UP publishing, it's the same root cause and same entities responsible for both issues: the university, and its adjunctification and defunding, which disproportionately affects "book-writing" fields. The only way to push back is in solidarity with one another.

[byjennytan.bsky.social @byjennytan]

Ok, but also, while authors/scholars are not responsible for publishing salaries, they ARE at fault for being generally the most demanding and disrespectful of the time and efforts of the least compensated staff, who do essential work on their books.

[byjennytan.bsky.social @byjennytan]

No conversation about labor and compensation in scholarly book publishing is complete without the context that most monographs are published primarily for the author's career advancement, subsidized by undercompensated, at times uncompensated, labor of publishing workers.

That's Sarah. Hope this helps.
