I see we’re having that debate again about whether academia is hard work or not relative to other jobs, and as someone who’s done a fair bit of different kinds of work (from retail, waitressing, & cleaning to being an office manager) my only concrete thought is this…
I’ve been thinking A LOT about this report, & I think at least some of it is because – w. ever-increasing workloads & overwhelming student/staff ratios – we are being forcibly denied the ability just *to be good at* our jobs. It’s a soul destroying feeling ucu.org.uk/article/11839/…

Episode 12: Rebecca Wanzo at FSNNA itsathing.net/2021/02/06/epi…
I was listening to @staceyabrams on David Tennant's podcast this morning, and if I had any money I'd try to get her on the podcast to talk about fandom and politics in a hot minute.
I'm delighted to announce a special episode of @itsathingfs featuring Dr. Rebecca Wanzo (@rawreader) of @WUSTLArtSci in the Keynote Event of #FSNNA20! Live broadcast for registered conference attendees and interview available in late October on the podcast.

Can you replicate the "magic" of an in person discussion in a face-to-face class? Yep. Fans do that everyday. From @drceefu. csaphd.com/2020/05/14/k-p… [see also episode 11 of @itsathingfs]
@hincklet Thank you! @DrCeeFu was a delight to talk with, and I was scribbling notes the whole time. :)

This is SUCH a good episode, I'm listening to it a second time and taking notes. So so good!!!
In this special episode, I'm talking with @DrCeeFu of @StearnsCenter on online pedagogy in the time of Covid-19, as well as her forthcoming book, Soul in Seoul: African American Popular Music and K-pop - listen in!

Teacher friends! Of all levels! I highly suggest you listen to this episode. It takes a quick detour to talk about Korean fan studies—but there’s so much great information about teaching online and/or utilizing tech in class. Listen! (And also learn a bit about my field!)

For anyone wondering about the uneven sound quality on the different episodes - mine, not my guests - all I can say is, yes. I’m working on it, but budget constraints and doing this in my little cell of an office are factors in how much I can do. But I’m working on it. 🙂
