What if gaslighting didn’t start in modern psychology, but in the Victorian Empire? VICTORIAN GASLIGHTING traces how power, “madness,” and false narratives were used to control women and colonized subjects, and why it still matters. #SCMS26 #ReadUP tinyurl.com/26pr7kyn

Here's a new piece I wrote for @theconversation.com about the dystopian Pottersville sequence of #It'saWonderfulLife and how it reflects the current political hellscape we're in but also points toward what we need to do to get out of it. theconversation.com/the-dystopia...

The dystopian Pottersville in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ is starting to feel less like fiction

Frank Capra’s dark vision of corruption and greed highlights both the dangers of concentrated power and the quiet effectiveness of collective action.

Happy to have this new piece out in @publicbooks.bsky.social today about political #gaslighting, a lost version of the play #Gaslight, and how the latter can help us reframe the way we think about and push back against the former!

Happy to share that the collection I've co-edited with Diana Bellonby and Tara MacDonald, "Victorian Gaslighting: Genealogy of an Injustice," will be published by SUNY Press next year. We've put together a really fabulous group of essays by a fabulous group of women; go read them when you can!

Keep forgetting I have a Blue Sky acct, but if FB is going to go the way of X, maybe I should come BS more often. To that end: please check out my article on Bette Davis in the current issue of Screen, if you're into that kind of thing... doi.org/10.1093/scre...

Still feel like a bit of a fish out of water here on bluesky, but we just adopted a ridiculously cute puppy yesterday and it seems like the only responsible thing to do is to share this pic of his sweet face as widely possible. I am so very in love with Henry the Dog!

really cute puppy face with tongue sticking out
