Thanks for this! I'm not sure I have anything right now, but I'll have a think and submit if I do. Will definitely try to attend regardless!

That’s awesome - Claire is wonderful!

Claire Whitehead has a very good analysis of Pushkin’s language in Pikovaya Dama in her book on the fantastic in Russia and France! It works well for teaching in translation as it clearly explains the nuance of the Russian

Data Visualization with Textiles This site is notes and drafts that may someday become a Handbook of Data Visualization with Textiles.

If you like data, or making things with textile crafts (sewing, knitting, crochet, weaving, etc.), I've finally written something up about data visualization with textiles. More words coming over the next few months! #DHmakes

Yay! Congrats!

I am curious, not least because many non-professors with doctorates follow me, to know what your doctorate was in (broad field ok, narrow if you want to share) and what you do for a living now. TT professors, we'll save you for a different thread. Please share for curiosity's sake, not using data.

Haven’t found anything yet, but will report if I do!

This is the next talk in our North American Dostoevsky Society virtual speaker series, with gratitude to Oberlin College for hosting! Register below for the Zoom link and join us to hear Michael's work on April 2!

But so thematic lol

The Limits of Pain: On Writing Against Chronic Illness At the start of Bora Chung’s short story “The Head,” a strange creature emerges from the toilet bowl. Resembling “a lump of carelessly slapped-together yellow and gray clay,” it rises from the wate…

“To link something together is to acknowledge that disparate parts are from the same source, that there is an undeniable connection between them.” How her experience with endometriosis has shaped Ysabelle Cheung’s fiction.

Call for (post-PhD) historians and cultural scholars for the pod! We have a specific wishlist of scholarship we’re looking to add to the lineup:
- ancient & medieval history
and/or
- histories of anywhere other than the US and UK, preferably outside Europe
