Charlie Gleek replied to the topic #HCSummerRefresh: Groups in the discussion
Humanities Commons Summer Camp on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoSo…groups have always been tricky for me. I tend to find that (in my areas anyway) that the volume of posting papers/etc. far outweighs the discussion (for the record, I’m equally culpable in publishing material rather than engaging in discussion). I regularly search for topics and groups in and around print culture, book history, and southern…[Read more]

Humanities Commons Summer Camp on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoThanks, @ltyler and @cgleek, for sharing your thoughts! I really like Lisa’s idea of using time that I may have otherwise used procrastinating on social media on updating my HC profile. I’ll definitely use this method going forward!
I also agree with Charlie that the upcoming conferences section can be helpful in meeting and connecting with other…[Read more]

Humanities Commons Summer Camp on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoHi folks! Thanks for the thoughtful start to summer camp. While I’ve been working on my profile this summer in preparation for a soft entry onto the job market this fall, I overlooked the value of posting my upcoming conferences and invited workshops for the fall. As we consider the value of our profiles – not only as a showcase but as a tool to…[Read more]

Humanities Commons Summer Camp on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoThe easiest way to find people who are working on topics of interest to you is to search for a particular topic and then click “members” under the “filter by” links (these appear on the righthand side of my laptop screen).

Humanities Commons Summer Camp on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoI recommend updating occasionally throughout the year–I update my page when I just can’t stand to grade one more paper. It’s a really good way to remind yourself of your accomplishments, which can make you feel better about grading those papers after all.

Gary Hall deposited On Class in Elitist Britain in the group
Environmental Humanities on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoA report published by the Sutton Trust and Social Mobility Commission this week, ‘Elitist Britain’, found that two fifths (39%) of Britain’s ‘leading people’ were educated privately, more than five times as many as in the population as a whole, with almost one quarter (24%) graduating from Oxbridge. I therefore thought it would be timely to publis…[Read more]

Humanities Commons Summer Camp on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoI’m sure I’m not the only one that could use some time set aside to update my digital presence.

Do you want to learn more about how to effectively share this information on HC? Then please consider…[Read more]

Whit Frazier Peterson deposited The Afrofuturist Historical Novel in the group
TM Literary Criticism on MLA Commons 6 years, 7 months agoThe recent surge of interest in Afrofuturism has resulted in some groundbreaking work looking at the ways technology and race intersect in film, fashion, music and literature, as is evidenced by the important collection of essays “Afrofuturism 2.0” (2016), edited by Reynaldo Anderson and Charles E. Jones. However there has not yet been an aca…[Read more]

Environmental Humanities on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoThis article explores three facets of green space within a medieval monastic context: its origin, its effects and properties and the way it was shaped into an expression of power. We learn a great deal about the history of green space through the nuances of monastic thought and vice versa. The term ‘green space’ in a medieval context may ini…[Read more]

Eileen Joy deposited You Are Here: A Manifesto in the group
Environmental Humanities on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoThis essay ruminates the ethics of a co-implicated, bounded dependence between objects (human and otherwise) that are always in some sense withdrawing from each other but also always together in a some-place labeled “here”: the world (where no Absolute or Outside vantage point is possible or habitable). This essay also considers the possibility,…[Read more]

Education and Pedagogy on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoThis essay argues, through various personal anecdotes, for a university in which our work and lives would turn away from impersonal professionalism and more towards a praxis where we would recognize better, as Brantley Bryant has written, that our “very strength, our very expertise, comes from darkness, indeterminacy, unmarketably disastrous…[Read more]
