Their passion, conviction, and faith in change made me a better person than I was when we started. Please join me in applauding them (fine, us) for proving that we can all be agents of equity, that we’re going to leave this world better than we found it.

You all know how reluctantly I tweet. But if there’s one thing that’ll get me to do it it’s celebrating the people I love.

Inordinately excited to share with you my Film Quarterly column on the Jan 6 hearings--some of best, most important television of 2022. Maybe because I finished the essay battling COVID, maybe b/c I finally got to write about essays I love and teach every year. DM me for PDF!

Can't believe today's my last day as Ed of @JCMSJournal. I had no idea how much this job would change me or that it would be the greatest honor and challenge of my career. THANK YOU to all who wrote, reviewed, and edited for JCMS. Together we created the change we wanted to see.

Couldn't be happier that Bo Ruberg & Liz Ellcessor are succeeding me as Co-Editors of JCMS. Not only have I been a fan of their scholarship for years (& enjoyed working with them on their own publications in JCMS), but their application essays were truly inspiring! So excited!!!
