  • A Letter to My Shakespeare and Race Summer Class

    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…

  • What Professors Still Wear

    #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…

  • The Sweatshirt Dress

    #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),…

  • Bright and Cozy First Day of Classes

    #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…

  • Pearls for Kamala

    #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…

  • Bridgerton, Episode 8

    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.

  • Bridgerton, Episode 7

    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.:…

  • Bridgerton, Episode 5

    Happy New Year! On New Year’s Eve I watched episode 5 of Bridgerton, and there were some fireworks for sure! Lots of explosions. This episode…where should I begin? I’ll start by saying that if I complain about something in an episode it is surely going to be addressed in the next one. Last time I…

  • Bridgerton, Episode 4

    Get ready for the yelling! Not the characters’ yelling. Mine. I found myself super frustrated while watching episode 4–more frustrated by this episode than any of the others thus far. Why? Better question might be what is there not to yell at? 😀 Funny thing is that I’m not the only one. When I Googled…
