I continue to find it the least predictable part of my biography that I used to live here.

Very old news now, but did you see the Moby Dick musical when it was at ART?

Hi @moderniststudies.bsky.social friends! We hope you'll join Friday's workshop "What Do People Do All Day (Off the Tenure Track)?" A conversation about understanding and navigating precarity (whether you're contingent or want to best support your colleagues). Workshop registration not necessary!

Lucked into a big batch of quince last week, poached it all and have been eating it for breakfast (with yogurt or oats) every day! One of fall's great joys!

Still feeling somewhat sheepish I talked a student into reading High Fidelity over the summer, so your endorsement means a lot.

A former student winked at me, and I assume we’ll both spend the rest of our lives embarrassed about that.
