"Loose Canons," my article in the Interventions issue on The Rise of the Global Anglophone is out! Deepest gratitude to eds. Jefferey Lawrence & Anjuli Gunarante for putting together this fantastic conversation. V excited to see it out in the world! tandfonline.com/eprint/7YNFI3D…

@KempoJesse @ASAP_artsNOW @_super_bass @DianaFilarski Thank you for your generative and engaging questions!

Just got out of a brilliant panel at @ASAP_artsNOW with @_super_bass, Nasia Anam, and @DianaFilarski on "Mobility is not a luxury." Made me think a lot about risk, ambivalence, & opacity in the ellipses of transit. A reminder to everyone to go to 9am panels! Great work is there!

@ARoseCasey I'm so glad to hear this on your behalf, Rose! But I imagine the victory must feel Pyrrhic. Wishing you much fortitude and solidarity.

@farahbakaari they're yummy! also actually not so weird to put pumpkin/squash in a samosa

New this week on Syndicate: @HistorianDurba kicks off our symposium on @poulomiqsaha's AN EMPIRE OF TOUCH with her response "Touch and the Figure of the Woman Revolutionary" @ColumbiaUP buff.ly/3DmeweL

The entire @synd_network symposium on @poulomiqsaha's groundbreaking "Empire of Touch" is up now! What an honor to curate/introduce this wonderful, rigorous discussion, ft @HistorianDurba, Parama Roy, @_neelofer, @NeileshBose, and Cristin McKnight Sethi syndicate.network/symposia/liter…

@vkhosla 100% STEM-obsessed desi nonsense. The study of literature & language IS the goal. English majors analyze complex ideas, express themselves with precision and clarity, gain insight on human behavior, emotions, art, history, geography, civics, economics, politics, and yes, science.

Most english majors lack a goal or a purpose. Why else would you major in your native language

@fuscowrites Thanks Katherine! 🤗🚴🏻‍♀️

@chattopa3 Thanks so much!

@possiblynasia Happy Birthday!

@tachtco Happy birthday and congratulations!

Celebrated the start of my birthday by finishing a chapter draft I have been chipping away at forever.

Very excited to be included in PMLA's latest Theories and Methodologies cluster on Abdulrazak Gurnah's oeuvre! Grateful to Brent Hayes Edwards & Barney Latimore for fantastic editing help The Return of the Imperial Boomerang in By the Sea and Afterlives cup.org/3pQa0Br

@yakabikaj Congratulations!! What a month!

@dee_bee_h had a student who came in late every day to my 14 person discussion with over ear headphones on, clearly watching videos on their iPad the whole time. Then called me the most discouraging professor they'd ever had when I asked them repeatedly to not wear heaphones in class🤷‍♀️

@NadineAttewell It’s so true! I’m relieved to know that I’m not the only one this happens to

@ARoseCasey oh what a tragedy! but what a sweet gesture
