    The Gift that Keeps on Giving (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I cried a lot during the first year of my English PhD at Purdue University. Your mind cracks when you spend seven days a week reading theoretical writing. Not to mention taking classes and teaching your own First-Year-Writing course. My hand would cramp as I tried to write down every word my professors uttered with preternatural, seemingly boundless kno… Read more

    Power Imbalance with Hattie Williams (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Childhood is a time most of us long to return to. If not forever, at least for an hour or two. Wouldn’t it be magical to experience the world with a wonder that has yet to be tainted by logic? What would it be like to express our emotions without consulting our ever-growing list of how others might feel in response? Childhood’s nostalgic sheen is mighty, but it can’t blind us to the power imbalance we’re born into. Babies can’t survive on their own, while children must navigate familial and inst

    Read excerpt

    Jean, my beloved mother-in-law, has a New York Times subscription, and she dutifully saves the Sunday magazine for me, handing me piles of them whenever we see each other. In July, she gave me an issue with the cover story, “My interview with the A.I. actress Tilly Norwood” by Taffy Brodesser-Akner. Ever since AI broke into our lives like an inscrutable Stephen King villain, I’ve been wondering what will become of our artists—writers, musicians, actors, directors, showrunners—the ones who create

    Back to School with Ann Garvin and Annette Vee (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I was a year old when I began my adventures in education. By the age of six, I was a pro, in and out of daycares and schools in Caracas, New York, and back in Caracas again. After adapting to so many classrooms and having to socialize in two languages, learning came easy to me, and I became good at making friends. Not that life had been smooth up to that point—my parents divorced when I was three, and we moved around a lot. But I felt confident and secure in my educational environments. That is,

    When the Powers that Be Sunder Our Connections (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    As the academic fiscal year was ending last month, I had left-over research funds I needed to spend, so I bought my plane ticket to Milwaukee, where the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) would take place next April. CCCC wasn’t the only conference I was planning to attend, but it’s been my academic home since I presented there during the first year of my PhD in 2009.
