"Shell-Shocked Intimacies" has a cover! Very glad that it features Marevna’s La Mort et la Femme, a painting from 1917 that has long helped me think about how the First World War reshaped perspectives on gender, intimate partner violence, and consent. The rest of the book will be out on Dec 28.

The idea that we are "colonial" or "obsolete" in Modern Languages departments misses the discipline’s transformations. Scholars in MLD don’t just "teach French"—they interrogate colonial legacies, global inequalities, and cultural translation. The perception of the field needs an urgent update.
