A new open-access journal, Public Humanities, has launched. I'm proud to have a piece in the inaugural "Manifesto" issue, on "The Necessity of Public Writing." I hope academo-friends will read, circulate, propose, and submit. doi.org/10.1017/pub....

I made a starter pack for people interested in scholarship on Vernon Lee go.bsky.app/DJGbDZf I included lots of wonderful academics who have shaped my thoughts and directed my own work. Please let me know if I’ve missed anyone (and sorry if I have!).

Remember folks that we need to return to the old habit of reposting (retweeting) people's posts instead of liking them to allow the folks we think are cool to build their following. Let's continue to build one another's visibility as a community should.
