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!!!

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).

"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 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...

Get in losers, we’re writing across difference @chazegregoir.bsky.social

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 wrote this piece 2 years ago, much closer to the start of my transition, when my struggle for self-acceptance was more raw.

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. www.sunyufs.us/voting-and-a...

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

"His son spent days crying...and has now stopped speaking." This is our Georgetown colleague, whose office is down the hall from where I teach. The mind can't assimilate how the University has mounted no public response; I had thought the usual institutional cowardice might have some moral limit

I'll be finishing my book on queer forms of relationality, thinking with brilliant colleagues about the concept of "scale," and teaching a seminar on queer & trans kinship

Disappearing people to avoid the jurisdiction of the court in which they were taken by the state is authoritarian to the core and runs afoul of the spirit of Article III, the Due Process Clause, and the principles that emerged from the Glorious Revolution and the American Revolution. Arbitrary rule.

"If queer theory has struggled to think of narrative in these terms, it is perhaps because we have defined narrative as one line driven toward closure" — read @teaganbradway.bsky.social's "Renarratable Bonds: Queer Relationality in the Scene of Redress" here: read.dukeupress.edu/differences/...

You cannot underestimate the trauma of these EOs. "Witnesses said the person was wrapped in a body-length transgender pride flag. The transgender veteran hanged themselves by jumping from the garage... The veteran had been discharged from the VA’s inpatient psychiatry unit on Jan. 21."

"I am in favor of faltering. We offer stories, take them back, revise them, start over, or continue in ways that periodically suffer interruption or trail off" — read Teagan Bradway (@teaganbradway.bsky.social)'s conversation with Judith Butler on our forum: differencesjournal.org/writing/quee...
