Thank you, Center for the Study of World Religions, for posting the interview of my dreams cswr.hds.harvard.edu/news/2026/03/3…

Not a secret that I'm excited to participate in the secrecy conference at the University of Bern this week!

Excited to announce that I'll be spending my spring sabbatical (spring 2026) at Harvard's Center for the Study of World Religions @HarvardDivinity! I know I'm going to meet some fascinating and fantastic scholars there. Can't wait for the mind-blowing conversations

Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective (SERRC) just posted my essay, The Impossible Animal, on academics who have mystical experiences. I put a lot of time and passion into this essay, and I'm excited that it's up! social-epistemology.com/2025/05/26/the…

Just attended Archives of the Impossible @RiceUniversity. Dean Kathleen Canning gave an amazing talk: "We in the humanities need to be on the offensive, not the defensive. We should be at every table." Yes!

Excited to announce my book talk and signing at @cgjunginla will be tomorrow, Saturday, at 6pm! "You and Your Genius: The Daimon and Hearing the inner voice in a noisy world" junginla.org/event/nicole-b…

Thank you to everyone to attended by book launch/workshop on finding joy amidst the chaos. We all need some of that! (Joy, that is.) I'm so grateful for the big turnout right before the Thanksgiving break!

Feeling Zen? Want to? I'll be giving a book talk for all you Zen professors out there at UMass Amherst on Thursday online! Here is the link to register! umass.edu/faculty-develo…

Hey everybody! My book launch in Tulsa @utulsa will be Nov. 19 at 4pm! Get ready to be so zen.

Hey, want to know where your inspiration comes from? It's calling you, pick up the phone! I'll be giving a book talk at @cgjunginla, focusing on my chapter on the daimon or genius, in modern and ancient times.

When your student is so apologetic for not making it to office hours, and you're secretly happy that you get another hour to work on emails

Friends, I'm excited to announce that my new book is out! This is not your ordinary academic self-help. Sufism, Jungian dream stuff, psychedelics, Zen beatniks--it has it all. (You can purchase it at rowman.com/lexington Discount code LXFANDF30 )

A colleague left these in my mailbox and said I should keep them. Apparently, as a French historian I am a fan of 1) lettered women of the Enlightenment who should be "feared," and 2) denouncing aristocrats and getting their stuff

Did you just tell me we have another department meeting this month?

Wow! We had over 400 people tune in! Clearly a lot of people dealing with burnout, but also a lot of us trying to fix the problem. Thank you to everyone who listened, and I hope the forum was helpful. Recording available soon! And thank you @utulsa for fostering faculty writing.

Right on.
