Account for Engaging the Age of Jane Austen: Public Humanities in Practice (Iowa, 2018), by Bridget Draxler @dlspratt. Sharing public humanities projects here!
In honor of Women’s History Month, we're celebrating our female contributors! In an interview with TSLL intern Emily Pierce, Dr. Susan Greenfield, @SCGreenf
reflects on the evolution of #feminism since her Fall 1994 TSLL article on #JaneAusten's Mansfield Park.
Read the first (I think) published review of Transatlantic Women Travelers. Thanks to Samara Cahill for this favorable review and @ECFjournal for publishing a multi-review piece on women's networks. ecf.humanities.mcmaster.ca/w…
This #JASNA2020 conference is just the best. Just did three short breakout zooms w/dozens of other attendees, and it was as close as I've felt to being in a #Janeite crowd, in all the best ways, in ages. Here my promenade outfit, with McMaster's books. Rock on, #JaneAusten!

If you're interested in motherhood, reproduction, and the body, @Ade1a recommends @mieko_kawakami 's *Breasts and Eggs.* It's a penetrating exploration of the desire to mother, of female solitude, and the ethics of living out one's reproductive rights.
...and follow by creating reading guides for others based on the students' own research. While this project was originally developed in an f2f context, it can be adapted for our current circumstances. Get inspired at pages.stolaf.edu/janeausteni… and .@EngagingAusten !
1/2 #TeachingAusten How can we create community with our students in remote or blended learning contexts?
