Boosting this again. Please share widely. My brilliant NTT colleagues @DePaulU are staring down the elimination of their contracts due to an anticipated $56.5 million budget deficit.

I stand in solidarity with term faculty at @DePaulU who face termination in the context of a multimillion shortfall. These faculty members have given their lives and expertise to this Vincentian university. #nohumanbeingiscontingent

After a decade of austerity and de facto hiring freezes, NTT instructors are the lifeblood of MANY programs. We’ve been told these cuts are an effort to “right-size” the university and that academic life will fundamentally change for all of us.

An exciting delivery: our new edited collection, Practices of Ephemera, in (temporary?) physical form! Please think about ordering a copy for your libraries here (also shows the Table of Contents): routledge.com/Practices-of-E… Bravo to our superb contributors!
Two books, one open on a page reading “Introduction/Spawning” on the left and on right the front cover: an abstract print with plain strip reading: “Material Readings in early modern culture. Practices of Ephemera in early modern England. Edited by Callan Davies, Hannah Lilley, and Catherine Richardson”. A Routledge imprint is on bottom right.

.@Becky_Fall and I are leading a workshop on John Taylor the Water Poet next spring @NewberryLibrary. We'll be considering this somewhat minor poet as an opportunity to rethink questions of urban identity in 17th c. London. Please join us! newberry.org/calendar/refash…

Refashioning the Seventeenth-Century Self

This workshop explores how new studies of early modern culture should approach the performance of social and literary identity.

any print history or early americanist folks know about this?? printing poems to bury with the deceased!?! The Cambridge press . . . most of its poems were funeral elegies that the mourners cast in the grave from hugh amory in the cam. history of the book in america

📢 This morning, we — SAIC non-tenure-track faculty of Art Institute of Chicago Workers United (#AICWU) — filed for our union election with the National Labor Relations Board. We are emboldened by the truth of our situation: precarity may have shaped us, but it doesn’t define us.

Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC

Replying to @friede @mkirschenbaum @CalRBS
to say one thing out loud: we need a course that stresses how to teach book history when you don’t have institutional access to deep special collections (or even any special collections).
