I've had a really great year as a postdoc, and I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at UBC-Okanagan as Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities (TT). I feel singularly lucky.
@NiemannJanice Everything Carmen Maria Machado has ever written. Her body and other parties is excellent. Her introduction to/edition of carmilla…I will never be that good a scholar.
@jrparks321 I wonder if it has wider historical variation? Aesthetics gets to be social movements and critical theory etc. Frivolity gets to be art when men make it an art (insert discussion of the ways queerness complicates this…looking at u Oscar Wilde).
@jrparks321 They’re aligning an aesthetic concern with frivolity, while we might make other aesthetic assertions—spare, virtuosic, muscular—without calling attention to the ways that they’re a means for dismissal aligned with gender.
@Ciaraioch A can of tuna and a can of white beans (or chick peas). Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon or whatever you’ve got. Something green like parsley. Salt and pepper. Eat on toast or not.
