A wee snowshoe excursion with Meewasin this afternoon. Nice to get out and about and learn about winter ecology at Beaver Creek.

I have a short new article out in the Practitioner's Forum of the Sustainable Publishing special issue of Imaginations: Journal of Cross-Cultural Image Studies, "Reimagining Academic Publishing: Community, Knowledge, & the Future Beyond Academia"

Find it here: imaginationsjournal.ca/index.php/im...
We are well over a decade into the prominence of academic blogging in knowledge dissemination and democratization, and yet our institutions continue to not recognize this labour financially or in regards to promotion and hiring practices, leading these important publications to serve as symbols of academic precarity and inflexibility. "Reimagining Academic Publishing: Community, Knowledge, and the Future Beyond Academia."

Ended up saving over $2000 using the Saskatoon Library System.

So grateful to the public library system for making raising a kid who loves the library and books so affordable. 💙💙💙
