Back in February, Andrew Bricker interviewed me about _Imagining Time in the English Chronicle Play_ as part of the New Books in Critical Bibliography Book Party series run by the SoFCB / Rare Book School.

It was a total delight!

UGH. Ten years and 4 months later, I re-located this footnote to an antislavery pamphlet pointing out that it was printed on linen and not cotton paper so as to avoid the material economy of slavery.... that REALLY should have made it into my book but didn't bc I forgot. Oh well. Here it is anyway.

This essay by Whitney Trettien and me was a labor of love about a favorite object at the Kislak Center. In it, we try to think in new ways about narratives of "discovery" in the archives. And we quote a bunch of tweets along the way.

A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:”The male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careers”
