UMD has a faculty cluster hire in AI, with humanities and social justice among requested areas of focus! I’m on the search committee and happy to answer any questions I can. Please share! ejobs.umd.edu/postings/124144

@melstanfill I logged into this site for the first time in months and this was what I saw, and... maybe? Also, congrats on book!

@FarBano Yes, although perhaps less indiscriminately now they extended the deadline by a month! I’ll message but likely see if I can make something actively relevant to my own research happen first

@alothian I know undergrads who were looking for a moderator for a panel on sexuality. Are you still looking to moderate? DM?

I’d love to join a panel proposal for NWSA, if anyone is last-minute looking for a chair, respondent, or panelist! I will be there as DGS and to support students/colleagues, but would love to be on the program. Between Covid and children I have fallen out of the conference loop!

@annamstorti @LauraKina @MelissaBlancoB @outrageous_keva @SasankaJinadasa Congrats Anna! I can’t wait to read this version — I’m so curious how the zoomification of the world has shaped your arguments. <3

@rorhetorician I’m so very, very sorry for your loss.

@unamccormack @howlsmovinglib Yes, please do! Would love to be in conversation.

@unamccormack @howlsmovinglib I’m glad of the recordings because I had to miss most of today due to childcare! But @unamccormack I am also happy to share script and slides with you!

@alicegwrites Thank you for this — so glad you liked the piece!

anyway, best piece I've ever read on CWs? This, from @alothian, about what fandom can teach unis about CWs. Doesn't apply 1-to-1 to publishing, but it's one reason seeing fandom as a site of puritanical censorship demands misses its subversive potential: bit.ly/3tvxDxL

I’m excited for this event tomorrow — my first in person since before Covid!

@profgabrielle @angeldnieves This is such amazing news and so well deserved! Congratulations!!!!

It's such an honor to work in concert with so many of the stellar historians, activists, and cultural workers, my siblings and family in the work of African American justice making, art, and organizing. Congrats to the #MacFellow. Strength and joy to all of us doing the work.

This is happening next week! I have the absolute honor to be interviewing @alothian for the first event on the @SAAS_YScholars 'In Conversation' series. Please join us to talk about science fiction, speculative futures and queer temporalities 💞
