Migrations #conference starts today! See the attachment for a list of free public events - I'll be moderating the film keynote on Friday. Come on out and sit in the a/c - escape the heat dome AND learn ;)

Stoked for the MIgrations: ALECC 2024 Conference next week! If you're in #WaterlooRegion, come check it out!

PS: the reception snacks on the first night actually start with registration at 6:15; the library closes at 9pm so we don't have much time to hang around and eat.

I wrote an article for Unsustainable Magazine that is based around my dissertation research findings about what it means to wish for systems overhaul. The consequences of that desire are what I consider now in this article. It gets a bit personal; I am embedded within my own specific context and my observations come out of that situation.

Is every #academic research assistant/associate position in the Humanities for graduate students only?! I gotta start looking elsewhere.... wherever that is...

For a long time I've been bothered by problems with the Paradise Lost #wikipedia article. Periodically I go try to improve one section or another, but I feel like it needs a group effort. Do I know any Miltonists or #Milton sympathizers interested in a mini editathon?? or Milton haters if you've got the receipts!

(#ParadiseLost? is that a hashtag anyone would use??)

Pretty excited that the Solarpunk Conference Journal is out! I have a paper in it called "Disrupting the present in a positive way: Solarpunk and learning from the past". I'm so happy to see it out, and amongst such fantastic company!

The research project I work for made national headlines! It's very exciting.

Article on #SpokenWeb - the project I am a #ResearchAssistant for- has a good overview of how vast this partnership is, and its scope and stakes.

I think it's pretty neat.

In my latest article for Unsustainable Magazine, I unapologetically brought my #academic research on #affect to bear on our current #ClimateEmergency. I hope it contributes to the discussion of how we react to the #climate #apocalypse in a good way.
