I think they missed me. Either that, or it’s colder in here than I think.Academic conferences are exhausting, even when they are thoroughly enjoyable and (maybe especially) when they are engaging. I’m proud to have helped build the new Southeastern Association of Cultural Studies and to be present at the first annual conference. If you do any work on a humanistic discipline and live in the SE United States, you should join us next year.This conference wiped me out, though. Interdisciplinary work in rhetoric, media, pedagogy, and language led me taking pages of notes to add to my own research. I had three first year undergrads with me, presenting about @markiplierand the way he “teaches” rhetoric. And we had both a tornado threat AND snow in 48 hours.My spoon level is 0, pain spiking to 7, and I have no idea how I’m going to get through this week. So I’m hiding under two down blankets, three cats, last week’s Unas Annus vids, and a pile of unread fanfic tabs.Grading can wait 12 hours. #catsofinstagram #sundaynightfangirling #professoring #spoonie https://www.instagram.com/p/B8XbpNIB3uA/?igshid=35zchusc2p42 -- source link
