One of the best decisions this semester was to sign up for a course on #historyofscience in Plant Knowledges (1700-1900s); it makes one think with beyond #plantationocene to specific forms of knowledge production and circulation through bioprospecting

OnlineFirst - "The cene scene: Who gets to theorize global time and how do we center indigenous and black futurities?" by Andrew Curley and Sara Smith:

For those of you who, like me, are developing an interest in the idea of the #Symbiocene (a term originally coined by philosopher Glen Albrecht, the age that we should work towards, post #Anthropocene #Capitocene #Plantationocene etc), this website/group looks like a good resource. Only just came across this, would be interested to learn more! #Symbioscene

🎤 I shall do my re-introduction now that the earthquakes have quieted down on the Commons.

Hello, I'm Anita. I graduated with a PhD in Postcolonial Literature from the University of Queensland in 2012. Currently a senior lecturer at the National University of Malaysia. I started as a postcolonial Gothic scholar. Very much entrenched in phenomenological traditions and everything spatio-temporal along w/ Memory Studies. That's guided a lot of my recent research but I've also been working with #ecoGothic contexts in relation to the #Capitolocene and the #Plantationocene. Theoretically I've published so far 3 poco articles related to Derridean hauntology.

Corpus: I work mostly with contemporary postcolonial Gothic women's fiction, SFF and retold fairytales in exploring all of the above. I'm the editor of Truancy (on indefinite hiatus), a venue of retold folktales and fairytales, and run a yearly Fairytale Salon Seminar Series. #introduction #litodons #philosophy

Oh, I also enjoy designing courses.

Repost: Guess I should share my one academic article of the year. (disclaimer, I found some post-publication typographic errors that I did not catch. Apologies)

Hello, thanks for letting me into this instance! I am a literary academic working on Memory, Hauntology, Capitolocene/Plantationocene criticism and the Postcolonial Gothic, amongst other intersecting research concerns which are almost always linked to spatio-temporal contexts.
