Book contract language for Brian Glavey's Relatability: Sharing and Oversharing with the New York School Poets
I'm over the moon that my book, Relatability: Sharing and Oversharing with the New York School Poets, will be published by the University of Chicago Press in the not too distant future.
Can't wait for @glavey.bsky.social's important book!!!
Grateful as always for your thinking in public about what a more democratic higher ed might look like and how we might get there!
I admittedly get exhausted / frustrated by how the discourse around the crisis of higher ed & the humanities ends up recentering elite scenes, subjects, and concerns, but I know that's not your intention or political vision.
Thanks so much for this thoughtful reply Nathan! As always, I love wrestling with your ideas & I'll be chewing on your helpful points here, esp. about which residual scenes/spaces could be revived or reactivated & what the cynical (re)branding cycles reveal about the crisis.
No apology necessary -- social media is weird! It's become more & more important to me to publicly advocate for non-Ivy/R1/SLAC students, faculty, and staff and to push back on what feel like distortions or just misunderstandings of our institutions, but always very happy to discuss more with you.
Absolutely! At my last teaching job: almost all undergrads worked at least one job (sometimes more), many had caretaking duties, a high percentage of first gen students. I related to them well-- I worked 35 hours a week throughout my undergrad degree (a shift manager in a cafe then as a secretary).
But I can see why it would be comforting to those at elite institutions to imagine themselves as the vanguard of the "liberal arts resurgence." Sad to hear my colleagues aren't "primed" for it... I guess we'll be cheering you on?
big yikes... Nathan, I'm really disappointed by this very weird take, as a person at regional comprehensive college. Folks at R1s just keep showing how little you all know about what we actually do here. It sure isn't "job-training & full on vocational curricula." Just a very strange thing to say.
"There are more than 19 million college students in the US. Most are well removed from corridors of wealth+power..43% of undergrads attend community college. 25% live with their parents."
a listicle for everyone, especially for the NYT editors themselves to learn

Congratulations!!
Chase Gregory’s new book, As If!
Get in losers, we’re writing across difference @chazegregoir.bsky.social
yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't wait to get my copy! so exciting!
Thrilled to have a chapter on "Queer Formalism" in The Palgrave Handbook of Feminist, Queer and Trans* Narrative Studies, which is a wonderful new collection edited by Vera Nünning & Corinna Assmann that everyone should check out ASAP!
Available for preorder, Aesthetic Impropriety: Property Law and Postcolonial Style is out from Fordham on 7/1/25.
I analyze property law expansively, across Nigeria, India, South Africa, and the English Atlantic, to argue that both legal and literary innovations are undoing law's colonial legacies.
Woah!!!! Omg that means more to me than you know! Plz tell them to reach out if they'd like to chat about the work anytime! (My email is teagan.bradway@gmail.com). And I'm very sorry for not seeing & responding to your post earlier, I haven't been checking this space very often!
This is incredible! I'm so insanely honored to have some work featured here. Thank you!!!!! Sending good wishes to your students!
Today's trans protest at the Supreme Court. The protesters were arrested for peacefully protesting.

Can’t wait to read this!
Great cover!
Huge thanks to @lgilmore.bsky.social for recommending me to the editors; to @cassiusa.bsky.social for giving such encouraging feedback to an early draft; and to everyone that's been so loving and supportive of my transition these past few years. (Heads up: the essay talks about sexual violence)
I wrote this piece 2 years ago, much closer to the start of my transition, when my struggle for self-acceptance was more raw. I'm in a different place now, but writing this essay was an important step in getting here. Excited to share it just in time for Pride! 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ www.academia.edu/129873399/_G...
There was a moment in “Criticism LTD” about which I received 76 emails. At the outset of this episode I asked Caroline Levine about that moment & her answer was 🔥🔥🔥
See SUNY University Faculty Senate Resolution 198-05-1 from last fall, which quotes a @rockefellerinst.bsky.social study showing a return of $8.67 on the dollar for SUNY in 2020-2021 and a $31B economic impact.

say it again:
4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities
ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x
demolishing higher education is economic sabotage
lollll 👋

Congratulations!!!
