Speaking of thinking forward, I've rewritten the CFP for the critical media literacy symposium I'm organizing. I first released it a few days before Jan 20th; it felt too narrow pretty instantly thereafter. So I invite anyone who works in the #medialiteracy space to now take a look: bit.ly/4gV2FWf

We have two job openings in the Media Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. Non tenure-track, of interest for those who work in cultural studies or critical media, don't mind a full-time lecture schedule, and enjoy working with grad TAs. It's a three-year renewable post. Please circulate!

I curate a series for Current, the journal of public media. We're calling for new pieces. We pay. Your research reaches the entire sector. Especially at this moment, when noncommercial voices are under attack, research on NPR, PBS, public, community, and educational media is especially prescient.

When I lived in LA I saw a lot of Q&As with Lynch actors and almost every single one could do an amazing impression of Lynch and the notes that he gave as a director. He was a treasure.

My regular suggestion: At the end of the semester why not reach out to someone whose work you taught and let them know? These days we have very little idea who teaches our stuff and in what contexts. It takes almost no time and can really make their day.

Ok U.S. scholars, it's time to come out of your turkey/carb comas to put the finishing touches on your CP2025 abstracts or find that final panelist for your preconstituted panel! You have a little over 1 week left!

For obvious reasons, it’s the perfect day to watch @brettstory.bsky.social’s UNION, a character-driven, suspenseful David and Goliath film about NY workers organizing at Amazon. Streaming through Tuesday only. Up for a Gotham award. See if it changes how you shop.
