Just wrapped up a week of inspiring and packed seminars, conversations, and a lecture with Douglas Mao, who was in @ox.ac.uk as Astor Visiting Lecturer. Thank you to @duncanbell.bsky.social, who has co-authored Utopias with Doug, forthcoming from OUP, and who brought even more brilliance here.

Chapeau to the soul who put the Jamaican flag to cover the profusion of St George flags in the Headington Roundabout. ❤️ 🇯🇲

This essay is out in the world! Huge thanks to John Alba Cutler and Marissa López (editors of Latinx Literature in Transition, v2) for giving me the chance to imagine this kinship between two greats.
