Hotel vibe: Neil Young in the lobby, Blues Traveler in the restroom. That’s about right.

Excited to be heading to Santa Cruz for John Ghazvivian’s “Scholars to Storytellers” retreat. He’s even opened up a slot for me to tell the origin story of this bad boy/bad girl, coming September 8: #scholarstostorytellers #punkin50pieces

It was a treat to attend the inaugural Switchyard Festival at the University of Tulsa, and to write about it for the Chronicle of Higher Ed. The informal theme was freedom of expression, featuring a dynamite lineup of speakers and set of conversations. https://t.co/WqWaOiZhMZ

@fuscowrites So kind, Katherine: thank you!

Nothing beats tv shows about department chairs, amirite? I wrote about LUCKY HANK and television's recent obsession with Big Men (and Women) on Campus for THE ATLANTIC. https://t.co/YoElWrEYNq

My latest "Ask the Chair" column for the Chronicle of Higher Ed.

How does a chair negotiate the tricky, and contradictory, roles of supportive mentor and juror for a colleague facing tenure review?

What’s the opposite of a Valentine? It might sound something like this month’s snippy “Ask the Chair” column….

Delighted that the folks at Times Higher Education published "The Art of Fostering Collegiality," an excerpt from How to Chair a Department: https://t.co/OepRtBGBdE
