The picture is from my essay :)
"Precarity, Caregiving, and Covid," edited by @Bloomily and @lahartvillalta, considers the "blurring" of the academic and personal, "examining what it means to perform academic labor and care work at the same time and in the same space." Read it here: modernismmodernity.org/forum…

Everyone should hire Anna.

Writing an article on caregiving and academia. Are there any academics out there who are caregivers (parental care, elder care, partner care, etc...) who left academia or took a different career path due to caregiving demands and would be interested in talking? Feel free to DM.

Two campuses that mean so much to me, where I have had the supreme fortune of teaching -- UT and Columbia. I don't have words for what is going on, but I believe that these students do and I will continue to listen to them.
