I’m giving a talk at Suffolk University on Thursday. 1PM. I hope to see you there! They made a lovely flyer. Click here to see or download it (pdf). For the quick facts: “My Dreams is Censoredâ€: Poverty & Women in Black Artemis’ Picture Me Rollin’ Thursday, December 2nd at […]
Yearly Archives: 2010
We’ve all had it. The blank page. The blank screen. Not so long ago, for me, it was a blank unlined sheet of white paper with a fast-growing trellis of little leaves  and flowers scrolling around the edge. More recently, it has been a blank Scrivener page  or Mellel  document. […]
Writing Paralysis–First-Year Style
But, a dissertation chapter is a dissertation chapter. The Sunday New York Times struck fear into my heart this week. This doesn’t happen every week, though goodness knows, more often than I’d like. This week brought us this headline: ‘Culture of Poverty’ Makes a Comeback The problem here starts with […]
A Blog Post is Not a Dissertation Chapter
There isn’t much about the academic job or postdoc market that it’s appropriate to post publicly. I won’t mention where I’m applying, or who has listed jobs that sound exciting. Suffice it to say: there’s a market, and I’m on it. The Problem What I am noticing is what a […]
The Academic Job Market and Tools
Though it’s only been a rough goal, I have set myself a goal to post here about once a week. Further, I have set a timeframe for that goal: to post here on Mondays. Once a week feels manageable to me, and though I have not (yet!) built up a […]

Scholarship
Or, In Which I Use My Blog as a Bookmarking Tool Mindmapping Recently, I asked the Twitterverse about collaborative online mind mapping tools. I have used Cmap Tools for a while and I love it, but it’s local and what I really wanted was something that could take advantage of […]
More on Digital Tools
For now, this will be the second in my three-part series (First Part). It’s not the post on teaching that I planned, but it has come over me. So this is not so much a post on teaching as a post on some elements of teaching and technology. But first […]
Teaching and technology
(This is outside of the three part series I’m writing, but I wanted to share a story) This post started out as a comment on a recent ProfHacker post but it quickly became clear to me that it was its own little story. So I’ll go back and make a […]
Excursus: An anecdote about digital research gone weird
(The First in a Three Part Series) I read and enjoyed the recent post by Tenured Radical entitled: “The Seductions Of Sedan Delivery; Or, Writing Your Own Academic Job Description,” so when The Chronicle of Higher Education drew my attention back to it, I read that article. However, it is really […]
