The challenge: distilling the rapidly evolving field of Quantitative Text Analysis into one overview paper. The outcome: our latest publication in @MethodsPrimers. I hope reading it offers you as many insights as co-writing it brought me! Read it here: rdcu.be/dErq6

Today is pre-order day for The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms! It seems appropriate that the pre-order starts on Indigenous Peoples' Day in the U.S. given that Indigenous Futurisms deeply influenced the collection. You will find 16 essays devoted to Indigenous Futurisms. 1/3

The genre of “fantasy” cannot capture the tradition of Afropantheology, @Penprince_ & @JoshuaOmenga argue, because it misses how these African stories share what their purveyors understand as histories, rather than folklores. buff.ly/48GCkbp

Introduction to Afropantheology - Public Books

Afropantheology seeks the freedom of the artist to express stories unbridled by Western labels and terminologies and the need for conformity to defined (often limited) literary standards.
