Why is it important to counter the Jane Austen 250th birthday frenzy in this moment? Because she is being used to promote neoimperial Brexit culture under the cover of white feminism as supposedly 'radical' 1/

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Peter Erickson - a leading light and the ultimate role model for white scholars working within the field of PCRS—and beyond.

Stop doing this! Whoever is paying @timeshighered.bsky.social‬ for story after story is also funding environmental vandalism on a catastrophic scale. This isn't journalism, it's naive ethical bankruptcy - and intellectually and pedagogically obtuse.
