New news: I've been awarded the Richard Stein Essay Prize for "The Climate of Utopia,” published in @victstudies.bsky.social! This is a great honor, which I could not have received without the generous help of editor @moniquemorgan.bsky.social and, honestly, the journal's highly skilled reviewers.

Word of the day is ‘erumpent’ (17th century), which describes buds and blossom that are bursting forth with vigour. Can also be used of energetic humans.
