@namwalien @lithub @janecia Congratulations, Namwali! I cannot wait to read this!

A pub day interview with the wonderful Jane Ciabattari up on @lithub! Thank you @janecia! lithub.com/namwali-serpel…

Thanks to Ellen Scheible, Barry Devine, @sbslote, and the editorial team @floridapress, as well as to my fabulous fellow contributors in the new book "Teaching James Joyce in the Twenty-First Century": floridapress.org/9780813079479/…

Excited to share that my essay, "Reading (and Loving) Ulysses While Black," is now available. It's a meditation on how the embodied and psychic experience of the Black reader enhances our sense of Joyce's masterwork: jstor.org/stable/jj.3769…

A little belated, but thrilled to see my article on Jessie Redmon Fauset and dance modernism appear in print (and in such company)! Thanks to the incredible team over at @MFSjournal, and to @debraraecohen and Cat Keyser for their editorial insights. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/…

@GenesisPurrr O.K., this is amazing! 😹

Do ya'll think Abel expected his brother to unalive him 😭 Like... he was prolly like "What I do" #hedidnotdeserve #snake #bookofgenesis

Birthday feels 🌷

Welcome to New York, dearest tomes 📖 🪴

@JunoRichards Beautiful, Juno. ✨

Excited to share that my essay, "Conrad, Du Bois, and the Politics of Modernist Individualism," is now published. It's a meditation on "Nostromo" and "Souls," and the beginning of a new project on how novels think about political commitment: google.com/books/edition/…

In the world of Joyce studies battle lines have been drawn over the handling of sexual harassment. There are those in the field who feel the issue is exaggerated, but many women told us otherwise. Article with @ConorGallaghe_r irishtimes.com/ireland/2024/0…

@dee_of_e Same. Specifically British ones. With moustaches.

growing up I assumed henchmen would play a bigger part in my life than they do

@jonathanbfine Introducing the new chair of Brown's MCM department...

Comparative Literature

My heartfelt gratitude to my committee members at IU, especially my chair, Jennifer Fleissner. Thanks also to my incredible friends and family for their love and support throughout this process. NYC: See you soon! 🎉

Some news: Earlier this week I successfully defended my dissertation, earning my PhD. In July, I will join the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University as an Assistant Professor.

Submitted the complete dissertation to my committee, now chilling in the path of totality. Feels momentous 🤞🏾🌞

@JeffreyInsko Initially thought this was my hometown basketball team (Oakland CA). Was only further delighted to discover that the Grizzle Grizzles hail from MI, handily trouncing IU's big rival. Heyaaa!

@ARoseCasey Right back at you! We’re in this together ✍🏾

@ARoseCasey Congratulations, superstar! :)

@RColesworthy I highly anticipate the results of this EXPERIMENT. (Also, I have a lot of thoughts about how this season is framing race... in like, a really obtuse way??)

Buckle up it’s time to find out for once and for all if love is blind, like, ~scientifically~
