Such excellent company to keep! And now American Disgust is officially released into the world:

Please join us for an Author meets Author(s) event. Ashley Shew is not here., author of Against Technoableism, and @allergyPhD & Dr. Laura Forlano, authors of Cyborg, will discuss each others' work. The event is open to all SDS members. 5/23 from 12-1:30 EST. Register here: rb.gy/frfbx3

Please join us on Monday, June 10 from 12-1 PM EST for a conversation with Jeff Brune, co-editor of Disability Studies Quarterly. We'll discuss the state of the journal, what makes for a good manuscript, and what authors can expect from the peer review process.

My latest book, American Disgust, might make really troubling-compelling beach reading this summer (who doesn’t want to think about bodies and their substances while on vacation?) and you can get it at a summer break-worthy discount (as well as a lot of great books!)

Is there a road trip in your future? A long flight? Do you want to spend a long time thinking about disgust? Try the audiobook of American Disgust from U of MN Press and let me know whether the aural is a medium to convey disgust (which some philosophers doubt)!

Are you using Naked Fieldnotes from U of MN Press in class this fall? Just want a copy for yourself? It's on sale--along with a ton of great sociology and anthropology books--for 40% off thanks to the #ASA2024 meetings. z.umn.edu/asa24 40% off discount code: MNASA24

I wrote about mandatory retirement ages for federal employees--as a spur to get Americans to support mechanisms for retirement and embrace retirement. It should be non-controversial, but Americans love work: bit.ly/4dLOjpY (through The Conversation U.S.)

Are you using Naked Fieldnotes (from U of MN Press) in class this term? It now has a website with more pictures, videos and soundscapes for you to explore—and links to reviews and interviews. Check out nakedfieldnotes.com

Not to add to the current academic job market discourse, but I wrote a new piece about job letters using some rhetorical insight from our memeified lives: bit.ly/4efV6bQ #AcademicChatter imgflip.com/i/92xi93
