Anyone interested in joining me for a panel on #fashion & #Regency #perioddramas for NEPCA (it's a virtual panel). Details at www.northeastpca.org/call-for-pap... #JaneAusten #Bridgerton #corsets #Sanditon #Persuasion

Humble brag here-- several months this year, our #Bridgerton issue has been th etop read in #JournalofPopularTelevision. My contributors were awesome and @jegleggott.bsky.social the best journal editor! @amandaraeprescott.bsky.social

Yours truly is delivering a keynote for this incredible conference- on #Bridgerton, history and presentism.

Susan Brownmiller has died. AGAINST OUR WILL, published 50 years ago this fall, was a landmark book about rape and misogyny that shaped so much subsequent scholarship.

It's #InternationalTeaDay Enjoy your cup of brown joy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eELH...

So grateful for #NEPCA still doing a virtual conference. Wish more academic conferences had even a hybrid option. High fees & accessibility issues exclude too many of us from sharing work w/ colleagues. Plus, this conference is always fun & supportive! www.northeastpca.org/conference

I'm looking for contributors for a "Jane Austen fight club" series where academics argue for their fave Austen heroine/leading man in 150 words. If you're keen & an academic at one of The Conversation's member institutions (theconversation.com/uk/partners) pls email: [email protected]

In between grading essays I'm bingeing "A Family at War"- I love 1970s' #perioddramas: 20 episode seasons & despite low budgets & overhead microphones in sight, we get great storylines- this family feels so real. It's a brilliant series! peterviney.com/film-theatre... #WWII #England #1970s

There's a good reason why women prefer the bear & the snowman to real men. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

So glad Hulu's "Rivals" reworked all the nasty misogyny & sexual violence of "Rivals". Just read the novel & realized I'd be Taggie's age & likely would have found it romantic; now my daughter is her age & I'm appalled we'd root for her & Rupert to fall in love. #Rivals #1980s

I guess we've run out of princes from made up European countries- so our lonely widows are resorting to snowmen! #Christmas #romance #toogoodtobetrue

I haven't seen an adaptation studies #starterpack doing the rounds, so thought I'd create it myself! One for you if you're interested in #adaptation in a cultural context in all of its wonderfully various forms. Let me know in the replies if you'd like to be added.

To escape politics & because I'm teaching #PrideandPrejudice, I watched Hallmark's "Paging Mr Darcy". If I'd only known that if I gave a lecture in Regency dress & danced w/ the organizer's hot nephew I could land a tt job at Princeton, I'd have saved myself years of research & struggle!
