Wish I lived close enough to UVA to see this! #feministbookstudies
ON VIEW NOW: ‘Women Making Books' demonstrates the social, personal, and political possibilities when women take control of a book’s content and structure. From scrapbooking to satirizing, from embroidery to zines, women have pushed at the boundaries of what a book is and can be.

I made this friend on Pier 39 while at #mla2023. We had a long talk about our mutual passion for the humanities, our fascination with books as material objects, and about how cute/loud sea lions are.

Had a great time presenting with this panel today at #MLA2023. Thanks to @anasalter for inviting me to join, to @nytuan and @designeducator for their inspirational work, and to @alexsaum, whose brilliant Zoom-based elit provided such fascinating material for analysis!
Today was "Electronic literature and the pandemic" #MLA2023 with @nytuan , @designeducator , @ARMoreshead and @AnaSalter , who closed the session with a quote that applies to pandemic academic labor: "The University does not love you" Kathleen Fitzpatrick's book Generous Thinking

Excited to see women's contributions to knowledge creation in this period getting attention from @MurrayScript. I talk about two women who worked on the OED in my article on women translators of Old English: ncgsjournal.com/issue182/mor…

What role did women play in the making of the first edition of the OED? Learn more about the first female assistants, sub-editors, and volunteer readers: murrayscriptorium.org/commen…

One of the best parts of dissertation research is the cool old books I get to study, thanks to the efforts of the ILL team at @UCFLibrary. This one covers wood engravers from all over the globe, from Mexico to Hungary to the UK.

Fun times! I bought a physical book. At a physical bookstore. With a physical gift card (that was so old it wouldn’t swipe and they had to take my word for the fact that it was unused.)

Did not have "Two hurricanes in one semester" on my "Potential Dissertation Distractions" bingo card. But here we are.

Fun Quote Tuesday: in which Swift casts some shade on academia in the definition of "Professor."
"Professors in most sciences, are generally the worst qualified to explain their meanings to those who are not of their tribes."

One of the most fun/rewarding things about biographical dissertation research is discovering random social connections. In writing a chapter on British illustrator Clare Leighton, I discovered her brother Ronald was the fiance of Vera Brittain, killed in WWI 1/

and described in Brittain's memoir Testament of Youth. One of my first grad school projects was an extremely amateur DH project on the Summerville College writers, which is where I learned about Brittain and her women writer friends at Oxford. 2/

Although my research has turned more toward women in textual production roles other than authorship, its really fun to re-encounter people/movements that initially interested Baby PhD Student Abby.

The latest episode of the CULTIVATE MSS podcast, #TheCostofCulture, is released today and so we're having a Twitter takeover - I'm Natalia (@NataliaFantetti) and I'll be telling you a bit more about Episode 2 - Women in the Manuscript Trade. Let's go! 1/
Hey look, it's me talking about my research over on @UCFTandT!
I am a fourth year T&T student, specializing in digital humanities and feminist book studies. My research begins with a simple question: how does a book come into existence? 2/12
