If this outcome holds it seems hard to see a way forward unless VVD will work with GL/PvdA. The key question then seems to become - does the VVD hate the left so much they would prefer to be in a coalition with JA21 to keep them out? Based on past performance, I would say yes... #netherlands

Looking forward to my first @histmat.bsky.social conference next week, where I am going to be speaking on "Historicizing Jewish identity and global capital in Gary Shteyngart’s 'Absurdistan'; or, re-periodizing the contemporary in American literary studies."

Very happy to be presenting today at the European Association for Jewish Studies conference, talking about Joshua Cohen's novel 'The Netanyahus' in relation to questions of race, postcoloniality, and the American campus.
