Tara McPherson

🎉 VICTORY: After a months-long investigation @USC dismissed a baseless anti-Palestinian complaint against our client Dr. Sarah Gualtieri, Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity, History, and Middle East Studies. 🔗: palestinelegal.org/news/2024/7/18…

@ananny 👏👏👏

@abbydphillip What a remarkable and courageous young woman. Asna represents a @USC to be proud of, acting from compassion and a call for justice.

USC valedictorian Asna Tabassum joined me on NewsNight tonight after her school cancelled her graduation speech citing “threats.” What she planned to say and what she thinks really happened:

On November 17th, CFR and Prof. Tara McPherson will host micha cárdenas (artist, scholar, activist, and USC alumna) who will deliver a reading from her new novel "Atoms Never Touch" and a writing workshop! See flyer for more information @USC_GSS @tmcphers @usc_levan @USCDornsife

@TulsaProvost @dgolumbia Such terribly sad news. He was such a rigorous and ethical thinker. I am glad we will be able to read the latest book, but digital studies will suffer from the loss of his sharp critique.

I am very sad to inform this place, which he pretty much hated, that @dgolumbia died this morning. Any of his friends can contact me for further information. The love he shared with his friends and his brilliant research and writing are his legacy.

A #realquestion - what's the last PARADIGM-SHIFTING book you read? One that really made you re-consider what you knew? Looking for models.

@edwardbkang @JDKun @ananny @katecrawford Congrats, Ed! Very exciting.

You all know who you are ;) but I want to give special thanks to my mentors Larry Gross, @JDKun, @ananny, John Cheney-Lippold, @katecrawford, and @tmcphers for their guidance, wisdom, and kindness throughout my journey.

It’s official! I’m joining @mccNYU as Assistant Professor of Critical Digital Studies in Fall 2023. I’m so grateful to all of my mentors and friends from @USCAnnenberg who made the past 5 years so unforgettably generative and enjoyable.

@inlandemperor @moveablejaw @MyOwnVelouria Fantastic work, Eli!

Shepherding brilliant new PhDs into the world never gets old. Congratulations to Dr. Eliot Dunn for successfully defending his dissertation on trans temporality in experimental media! Thanks to @tmcphers @moveablejaw @MyOwnVelouria & Alice Gambrell for serving on the committee.

@rich_lem Sending wishes for healing.❤️‍🩹

Dear #GDCFeet - I wanted to let you know that, unfortunately, I just tested positive for Covid! I don't feel too bad, so please don't worry about me. For those on our walk: please monitor for symptoms and test as you can, and spread word in our community. Many apologies! 😢

Re-upping this event--less than a month away! If you are in the LA area, come to Book Soup on April 7, 7pm, for a conversation between me and @PatThomas on #whenthenewsbroke!! Maybe some local pals can share! @AllisonJPerlman @tmcphers @henryjenkins @RebekahMcKendry

@PaulCrenstorm Yes but not my own son’s number because auto dial.

@jilltxt Exciting news! Congrats.

@inlandemperor Love those. Had the reissues in my virtual cart at one point but talked myself out of them.

While everyone else is cooing over the pumpkin-shaped Le Creuset, I'll be scouring the dark web for these (though it's highly unlikely I'll be able to afford them).

@inlandemperor @raquefella @QueerPublics Warmest congrats! Wishing you joy and much happiness!❤️‍🔥

My BFF @raquefella married the love of their life @QueerPublics today. It was my honor to serve as their #bestbutch. Here’s a glimpse at last night’s rehearsal dinner. Congratulations to Raquel, Sandy and Lalo! You said #meetusinmarfa, and we did 💗

Brittney Griner has been illegally detained in Russia since February 17th, 2022. I’m urging the @WhiteHouse to prioritize Brittney’s safe return home immediately! #WeAreBG Change.org/WeAreBG
