A reminder that punctuation and grammar are tools that allow clear thoughts to be put into relationship with one another. Clarity and logical relationships are at odds with regimes that gaslight and manipulate populations with disinformation, propaganda, and hatred for others.

Donโt put your energy into contributions to edited volumes pre-tenure. You have no guarantee that the publication will come out before you have to apply for tenure.

โEveryone is leaving Massachusetts โ thanks to higher taxesโ
Havenโt read this Wash Post article because I didnโt renew my subscription after they canceled book section, but a ridiculous headline that would have caused most if not all of my first-year students to guffaw.

Not news for some of us: โcompanies implementing AI into their operations discover that algorithmsโfor all their speed and efficiency โ canโt inspire teams, build trust, or navigate the complex, essential work of human collaboration.โ

Hoping that this is truly good news rather than delaying tomfoolery. And, as always, thanks to the public health folks who are seemingly indefatigable heroes but must be so, so tired.

Sorry that has been your experience. Hasnโt been mineโas listener & writer. Have certainly heard my share of deadly papers but also have heard plenty of lively ones w. a real voice & mind at the heart of them. A talk or romp through slides isnโt always an effective or efficient mode of presenting.

โTailored to oral deliveryโ is key. Write papers in a conversational, listener-friendly voice, effective teacher voice. Not only makes for better conference papers but makes for better humanities writing in general.

For students as well as teachers. Responding to teachers and peers, thinking through ideas on your feet, developing your own ideas in DIALOGUE with othersโcritical skills practiced with joy that are marketable and transferable.
