#Introduction

Well, internet friends, I'm not entirely sure how this is going to work, but here I am moving from one of the unbelievably big instances (which was easy to find and get an account on for getting started, I guess).

So, I'm a professor of English in Georgia (not the nation); I spend a lot of time teaching composition and my research is in science and literary studies, especially physics and drama, but I enjoy a lot of tangents, too.

Reading R.F. Kuang's "Babel" with Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House and there's clearly a renaissance of the dark academia genre written by women right now. Last one was in the early Oughts. In between there's a bunch of books written by men, but there's such a stark difference between dark academia written by men and the same themes written by women that I'm stunned there isn't a big essay on this difference yet. #lit #litsci #litcrit

If you write a long essay about how moral ambiguity in fictional characters enables dictatorships and is antithetical to European culture, I am suddenly significantly less interested in your fiction #litsci #LitStud

There's not enough people who apply Deleuze and repetition to the permutations of Genre #litsci
