Social Distancing Day 6 – I’ve Lost Count
OK, that’s not entirely true. I know it’s been 17 days since I self-isolated/began social distancing. I haven’t seen any friends, family members, colleagues, students, etc. in person since March 12. Today is March 29. I had planned to write a blog post for every day of social distancing, but I began to feel overwhelmed…

Social Distancing, Days 4-5
Three days into blogging about social distancing, and I got sidetracked. By what? Working on classes, book editing, spending too much time on the computer and needing a break, worrying, etc. I’m ready to get all caught up now. Even though every class period will be a work in progress, the book editing project has…

Conference Fashion…at Home
#whatprofessorswear Raise your hand if you were supposed to go to an academic conference–or even better run one–this spring….That’s a lot of hands! So you are totally bummed that you don’t get to go, and you hate to miss out on the papers and all, but what about the fashion? Don’t you hate missing out…

Social Distancing, Day 3
Just went for a walk to the YMCA, which is close to my house. Did I go into the Y? No. I walked by it. How sad. I had just gotten into playing raquetball about a month ago, and I was getting good. Hubs and I would play one to two matches every week. Now…

Social Distancing, Day 2
Sunday, March 15, 2020 Beware the ides of March, right?! I didn’t see a meme about that yesterday, and that is saying something. I see posts about it every year. I’m a literature professor, after all. But no. The posts are predominantly about the virus and all things related. Understandable. Yesterday I worked on one…

Social Distancing, Day 1
Saturday, March 14, 2020 I began social distancing officially on Saturday, the day I was supposed to fly to the Dominican Republic to see Uncle Pat (my husband’s uncle). Pat lives in a condo in the DR, and we’ve been planning to visit for about three years now. We went in 2016 and 2017. It…

Blogging in the Age of Coronavirus
Hi. You know me. I’m a writer, a scholar, an editor, a professor, a cancer survivor, and so much more. I’m also living with chronic inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis. I manage my anxiety and cope with depression daily. I blog about #whatprofessorswear. I blog about Jane Austen. I’m adding another item to my blogging repertoire:…

Would You Like Some Mustard on That?
#whatprofessorswear Why, yes, I would. I would love some mustard. Actually, I don’t like the taste of mustard. Some people love it. Some people hate it. I’m in the middle. I do enjoy wearing a mustard-colored sweater, though. I bought this Banana Republic sweater years ago, and occasionally I wear it–like once a year. It’s…

Valentine’s Week, or Better Late than Never
#whatprofessorswear Y’all, I have fallen behind in my fashion blogging because I blogged eight times on the PBS Sanditon miniseries. I made it through Sanditon, so now it’s time to make it back to What Professors Wear. Thanks for your patience. So I’m about a month behind in my sartorial blogging. Yikes! This post, therefore,…

Sanditon on PBS, Ep. 8 (finale)
Oh no you didn’t, Sanditon on PBS writers, just disappoint all the fans. How dare you? How dare you begin a series by turning an underdeveloped Austen character (Mr. Sidney Parker) into a jerk, reform him to be tolerable (I suppose), and then make him a martyr to his family! How dare you introduce us…
