Assistant Professor of Musicology @ Wichita State. Scholar of 20th-Century British music, race, and the Commonwealth, but I mostly post about tennis and my cat. Views obviously my own. www.TrevorRNelson.com
Today has been one of those days where I think Iโm all caught up and then bam 5 new emails appear.
A title slide for a presentation. Text reads "Go Your Own Way: Sound, Spectacle, and Mid-Twentieth Century Commonwealth Celebrations. Trevor R. Nelson, Ph.D., Wichita State University, trevor.nelson@wichita.edu, UMKC Friday Forum." There is a Black and White image of the inside of a gothic cathedral filled with chairs.
Headed up to UMKC today to share some new archival findings that might make their way into the book.
This Faculty Senate meeting is spicier than the last Traitors roundtable.
The way I was SCREAMING at the television this morning watching this.
Natalie trying to get support from Tara at the roundtable:

Michael Jordan, as seen here with him dunking on my HS history teacher.
(One of the Trump Daughters-in-law also went there, but she is a farrr 2nd place)
Not James Van Der Beek too!

All I have done today is yell โwow are they okay? Are they trying to hurt themself?โ while watching Ski Jumping.
Just submitted an article to a journal, so I'll be having cake for breakfast.
I get that libraries are moving to eBooks. But when the eBook doesn't include what page in the physical book I am "looking" at, or the page numbers don't match at all, I get very concerned. ๐คฌ
Iโm just glad weโre in the snow areas and not the ice area!
Nope
Wichita State is hosting Model UN and I just have to hold myself back from sneaking in to ensure Moon representation.
So my neighbor had an outdoor cat who looks nearly identical to my very much indoor cat. And I had my workout for the day just now sprinting though my yard
My partnerโs things arrived the day before the semester starts. Iโm so glad heโs here butโฆeverything is fine ๐๐
When does the Heated Rivalry reenactment begin?
There is no better investment than professional movers.
First day back from break and I can't log into Blackboard. Guess I can ignore the impending semester some more!
Can he work on this instead?
I hate moving but after two years of long distance, my partner and I are moving into this adorable house here in Wichita.
Since Bake Off is the only thing that my family can watch without fighting, hereโs to all of our favorite chaos agent on GBBO www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrvSGyXA/
Instead of watching the speech, Iโm at DFW waiting on a mechanical delay. Not sure which is worse.
As I sit at DFW, hoping that flights donโt continue to get delayed, I can only try to Tap Into My (Fort) Worth

Okay so had some flight changes before I even left Kansas. Now โshouldโ be in NC by 10:30 pm (rather than the planned 4:30 pm)
Letโs play will American Airlines get me to North Carolina today. So far, chances donโt look so hot.
So, not everyone can apply everywhere. As a white cis gay male, I felt okay about applying to a job in Kansas, but only in a large city. But why do I get the sense these guys were โCoastal R1 or bustโ?
While I wish @joycedidonato.bsky.social could have been here in person, Iโm still so glad I got to hear her commencement address. Value process, value humility, value service, value joy.
This is also why I *always* tell my students to double check the math on all grades. I will make mistakes and I am always happy to make them right!
