LIBERALISM AND AMERICAN LITERATURE IN THE CLINTON ERA (Cambridge, June 2022.) "Humanities on the High Plains" podcast.

[Ryan M. Brooks @RyanMBrooks3]

Holy Cannoli, my book is finally out! If (like my cat) you're interested in reading about how an era of neoliberal consensus changed the American novel, you (or your library) can get a copy from Cambridge or your favorite online bookshop. https://t.co/VEzbXA9ghv

@sm_osment Once I saw him on the back patio of El Cid in Logan Square, and then a bird crapped on my shoulder!

@amymarchinparis @Dalkey_Archive Oh man. I once heard Gass read excerpts from The Tunnel in a crowded tent on a hot day in what I think was the Printer's Row Bookfair in Chicago, and I remember it being mesmerizing. Heavy and otherwordly.

Faculty at Texas A&M need to get permission before including any "race or gender ideology," content related to SOGI, or any other "controversial topic" in any of their classes. Here's the process they're supposed to use to get that permission.

[Dr. Leonard Bright @DrLeonardBright]

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true.

They are getting creative!

SB 37, which attacks public colleges + universities in TX, is headed for a vote on the house floor. It has already passed the senate, so it could be sent quickly to the governor’s desk. Please 🙏 call your House Rep + ask them to oppose SB37 before it’s too late! ⏰

[Texas Conference of the AAUP @TexasAaup]

Just a friendly reminder to contact the members of the House Higher Ed Committee to oppose SB37 in ALL 👏 ITS 👏FORMS!👏

Please share with friends, family and community members. The strength of our public colleges + universities benefits us all!!

@RableKyle @CWAUnion @CWA6186 You are in good company. The Texas Sc*rec*ard claimed the American Association of University Professors was a "far left" group.

NEW: Our guest this episode is poet @TylerMPoetry whose 2024 memoir The Bomb Cloud, published by @PressUnbound, tries to come to terms with family history and the legacy of atomic testing in the Southwest, a legacy defined by secrecy and erasure. https://t.co/THqpFfZ7bn

… the differences between the lyric “I” and the “I” of memoir; the role of literary form and beauty in grappling with the danger of nuclear disaster; and where people living in “atomic communities” like Los Alamos, NM or Amarillo, TX can look for hope in the face of this danger.

We discuss: the challenges of navigating a still-partially classified archive; how Tyler came to spend several years living near the sites that constitute ground zero for the Atomic Age; the ekphrastic nature of The Bomb Cloud; Tyler’s mixed-media approach….

In this new piece, @joshshepperd notes that public media emerged "to provide equal access to information," especially for rural communities like the Panhandle, and that these same communities would feel the biggest impact if federal funding is cut. https://t.co/gYfMvzTvkK
