Oh man, wouldn’t that be grand!?! Maybe you could get an architect to tuck a penthouse and terrace under that roof so it couldn’t be seen from the street?

It’s a good price. You should totally form a syndicate and buy it.

Join us Friday, March 6 for History under Siege!

I am super lucky to have seen him present on his films @rad-institute.bsky.social some years ago. Honestly, it was a transformative lecture for me. Remarkable work. I’ll be teaching Titicut Follies next semester.

RIP Frederick Wiseman <3 <3

Society for the Study of Affect... 'MAKE'...Vancouver...October 23-25.
More details to come in the next week!
Yes, affect conferences have the best vibes. Let's see what we can MAKE in Vancouver...rerouting the (worst) timelines of the present.

RIP Carla Freccero. You were feisty & fabulous. Brilliant & bold. You thought my usage of the word 'oeuvre' was annoying (OK, ça va, I give you that one!), but read my and other folks' work with an eye for detail & care and embodied a type of intellectual generosity that is rarely found in academia.

Nostalgic for snow days rather than shift to remote days.

The annual Feminist Studies grad prize is open for submissions! December 31st deadline. Please spread the word.

If you’re in the vicinity, we’d love to see you at Limits of Legibility #3!

Cover of Sex Isn't Real: The Invention of an Incoherent Binary by Beans Velocci. The cover features a mesh grid pattern in an off white against a black background. The title is written large in a serif font in the center of the cover. Each word is a different color— ‘sex’ is a light orange; ‘isn’t’ is a grey blue; ‘real’ is a teal. The subtitle is directly below in white. The author’s name is above the title also in white.

In "Sex Isn't Real," @beansvelocci.bsky.social traces the history of attempts to define sex and to create a world devoid of trans life, demonstrating that it is not the cis people who fit the categories but the categories that flex to make them fit. Read the intro for free now! buff.ly/TinoJLg

One of my favorite things about Feminist Studies is our commitment to art. We regularly publish art essays with full color spreads of art work (have an idea to pitch us? Please send!) and our covers are stunning. Shout out to Duy-Khuong Van, our graphic designer.

Winter 2026 issue is coming soon!

Right?! But maybe it would be a very short syllabus given that mostly I am so throughly annoyed by so many texts.

For me this is Catharine MacKinnon. I disagree with most of it but it’s remarkably generative in a classroom. Immensely charismatic texts.

Intarsia is peer-reviewed, open-access, and student-led. It is sponsored by @emorywgss.bsky.social and @ecds-emory.bsky.social
