I was inspired to post the Renoir-Bazille portrait pairing by Tom Crewe's very fine, thoughtful reflection in the LRB on Gustave Caillebotte and the queer gaze www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

What luck!! (This has happened to me and it is the weirdest feeling!) I'm so happy for you!!!

Very proud of this series, which I started 4 yrs ago when I became Dir of Am Studies at BU. We bring in senior scholars to respond to works-in-progress by BU junior faculty, and then the guest gives a public lecture. The year is capped by a Keynote from a senior BU faculty member. Today: Lisa Lowe!

Things I’m Not Supposed To Say: Make It Cheaper To Fail I came out of the closet on twitter today with an idea I’ve had for some time. Part of being a junior scholar is learning what ideological wars you don’t have the gravitas to wade into.…
