👀 Over the last few months, I’ve been working with the terrific triumvirate @spparkle.bsky.social, @emiliekmmurphy.bsky.social & Hannah Yip to set up “Sonance: A Journal of Early Modern Sound Studies”, a diamond open access journal dedicated to historic sounds in all their wondrous & eclectic forms.

Thank you, Neelofer! It’s been hard to recreate academic community here, but I’m glad to be in touch again. I hope you’re doing well!

Wait. He’s still talking? I thought I had avoided it by staying offline for several hours over here in Central time.
The 2025 book Shakespeare in Tongues by author Kathryn Vomero Santos examines how Shakespeare is still used as a spotlight to bring attention to lesser-known histories of linguistic oppression and colonial resistance.

FWIW, I didn’t know this either. An unexpected bonus, though, was that I ended up getting permission to include the full poems, which I hadn’t originally planned to do.
Thank you so much for having me, Norma! I’m grateful for your thoughtful engagement with my book!
It’s always such a thrill to visit the @texaspublicradio.bsky.social studios and to speak with @normdog1.bsky.social and @mariannavarro.bsky.social on their marvelous #Fronteras program. I’m grateful for the opportunity to discuss Shakespeare in Tongues on the most recent episode. Check it out!
Do pop by the EUP stand to say hello and grab one of our fab books! @rsaorg.bsky.social
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
The judge, a President George W. Bush appointee, likened the administration’s rationale for removing the panels to the authoritarian regime in George Orwell’s novel "1984."
the day-to-day is getting uglier and uglier. glad there’s beauty in community.
🚨 UT Austin is planning to shutter its African and African Diaspora Studies (AADS); Mexican American and Latina/o Studies (MALS); Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGSS); and American Studies departments. 👇

This is a travesty. African and African Diaspora Studies at UT Austin has been one of the best programs in the country. And for historical context, this is explicitly about reversing the gains of student movements in the 60s and 70s.

138 years ago today, Congress signed the Dawes Act into law. You may have never heard of it, but this law redrew the map of the United States.

Arts + Humanities FTW!
Don’t forget to vote, SAA friends!
Education is a public good for all.
When politicians censor classroom teaching in order to narrow the field of topics that students can engage in, they rob them of a stellar world class education.
This is what is happening at Texas A&M & other institutions in the state.
🧵
"Texas A&M University said on Friday that it would end its women’s and gender studies program, and that the syllabuses for hundreds of courses had been altered under new policies limiting how race and gender ideology may be discussed in classrooms" (gift article)
Tomorrow, we stand together and demand an end to censorship at Texas A&M.
No more bans. Students deserve to learn without uncertainty, and faculty deserve to teach without retaliation.
Join us.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
Claiming a desire for “transparency,” TAMU administrators are acting as though administrative review isn’t the first step toward censorship.
I second this recommendation! I love that I can maintain a weekly calendar and my lists in one spread. Leuchtturm1917 makes a similar one. www.leuchtturm1917.us/weekly-plann...
