I haven’t blogged in a while, and I miss it. Maybe you have too? Maybe you wonder what’s up with What Professors Wear? Well, let me tell you. Here’s my first day of school outfit: I wore a white and black striped cotton blazer (from The Gap) with a black and white striped cotton shirt […]

When I first started blogging it was all about professorial fashion–well, my professorial fashion mostly. I called my blog “What Professors Wear”–a riff on “What Not to Wear” (TLC show). I wanted to show people that you can wear stylish, fun, comfortable clothing and shoes to work. No stuffy suits. No lame khakis. But the […]

After I posted this today on Facebook, a lot of people were asking me for the assignment: Here is the one I am using this summer in my Shakespeare class: An infographic is a mashup of information + graphic. An infographic provides readers with a succinct visual representation of gathered information. The goal is to provide take-away points […]

I sometimes teach a five-day-a-week, five-week (got that?) summer course. In the past few years I’ve only taught an Austen summer course, and this summer I am teaching a Shakespeare course. I love both authors’ works, so it’s all good. I only want to teach summer courses on authors or topics that I am absolutely […]

#whatprofessorswear It’s been a while since I wrote a What Professors Wear blog post. Thanks to my friend Lu for the reminder! Like all of you I’m hella busy and spend so much time on my electronic devices. This has made me feel reluctant to devote time to my blog. Sheesh, I haven’t blogged in […]

#whatprofessorswear I finally did it. I finally bought a sweatshirt dress! I have wanted one of these for a long time. I like to wear dresses sometimes, but I love to wear sweatshirts. Why not combine them? It’s a mashup, y’all! Last year on Black Friday (which, I repeat, is like a week long now), […]

#whatprofessorswear It’s January 26, 2011, and the sun is out in my neck of the woods, which means that it’s a cold day in Maine. What better way to warm up than by putting on some sweats, right? Well, I’m teaching online today, so I shouldn’t be wearing a sweatshirt. Sweatpants–no problem; sweatshirt–not really teaching […]

#whatprofessorswear #pearlsforkamala This is a fashion blog post, and you might have thought I would talk about what people were wearing at the inauguration. After all, ABC decided that we needed to know which designers Biden and Harris were wearing. But I’m not. Today I am interested in the symbolic. On this historic day, I […]

Here we are, dear reader, at the end of Bridgerton, season 1. Did it end the way I expected? In some ways, but not in all. In this post I’ll address the expected and unexpected denouement of your beloved show. Expected: Of course, I expected Daphne and Simon to turn this marriage around and enter […]

After watching episode 7, I said to my partner, “This episode was so boring. I don’t feel like writing about it.” He had a lot of things to say, so I suggested that he write the post, and he did! So, dear reader, I give you a guest blog post on Bridgerton by Mr. B.: […]
