This hits hard, as 10 years ago we got a @neh-odh.bsky.social grant to launch our Scholarship in Sound & Image workshop. That grant was truly transformative, as we just saw at #scms25 - it's no exaggeration to say that videographic criticism as we know it would not exist without #NEH support!

I have now officially joined the ranks of people who have vulnerably placed their job security in the hands of publishers. Like all the others, I hope that my work is interesting and promising enough to ascend this realm to the even more gut-wrenching status of "peer review."
Out now! MONSTRUM 7.2, “Queer/ing Horror,” guest-ed: @Daynarama.bsky.social. The 9 video essays in this issue think about what queer reuse of queerness looks like through a horror lens, and are also acts of queer re-telling and reviewing practices of horror.
