god grant me the strength to accept the books I will never read, the courage to skim the ones I can, and the wisdom to know the difference

One of my biggest issues with academia is that the reward for being incompetent at service is less service, and the reward for being good at service is more service, which can lead to unequal (+ very often gendered) service distributions. Any tips for dealing with this?!

I'm giving my students the option of designing a Twitter thread as part of their public scholarship assignment. What are you fav academic research threads?

Angry & disappointed to see this—as an OUP author *and* a UP publisher. HLS’s book is “philosophical” but OUP lists its “practical proposals and policy recommendations” (!) as a selling point. This isn’t just a concern for scholars. It’s a concern for publishers. Speak up UP-ers!

It’s finally out! I am so thrilled to share this special issue of Studies in the Novel. Thanks to Tara MacDonald, an idea co editor, our wonderful contributors, and Tim and Nora at SITN! #novel #gender #time
