Celebrated four years of holding a PhD in comics by teaching Bechdel's Fun Home to a cohort of English students - and managing just exactly not to cry when reading aloud the final page to my students. No matter how many times I teach it, it still gets me.

Finally read 'The Claremont Run: Subverting Gender in the X-Men' by Andrew Deman (@sequentialscholars.bsky.social). It's a fun read with keen insights but low-key the best sentence in it might be "His clothes have disintegrated with the exception of his left boot, his exterior briefs, and his belt."

’Super-Girls of the Future’ is out today! Ask a librarian to get you a copy (or buy it here www.routledge.com/p/book/97810...) if you’re into superhero comics, girlhood studies, comics studies, Ahmedian affect theory, or just want to know why and how Ms Marvel changed super-girls as we knew them.

Current project: the intersection of feminized work and Instagram comics Rent free: would literary studies collapse if more of us admitted that we have little-to-no actual evidence that reading makes you a good/better person?
