Briefly my area of research: modern literature (esp British, French&Turkish),literary theory, & history of emotions. For my postdoc, I wish to expand my scope to contemporary literature & work on depictions of loneliness in the 21st century cultural production (i.e., lit., film, TV, arts) next. 2/2

I have finished my PhD (with a diss titled "Bored As Hell: Reading Boredom in Modern Literature) a month ago & am now officially in my post-PhD stress era, currently gathering info & looking for PostDoc fellowships--and ofc, needless to say, ideally FT/TT positions. (1/)

Lol, the concept of parents posting videos of themselves crying is so bizarre—like why? Also, maybe bc i didn’t grow up in American culture, but i’ve never understood why parents cry&be dramatic&make a big deal when their kids go to college. Idk, feels strange to me.
