  1. Zohran Mamdani majored in Africana Studies at Bowdoin College in Maine, at the time Peter Coviello taught the subject there, though he can't remember if New York City's Mayor-elect was his student or not. For LitHub, he explains how he was approached by a New York Times reporter to speak about Mamdani but didn't, because the writer missed the appointment, and what he thinks of the eventual piece, "a wreck, but of a form so pure, so purely Timesian, you almost have to admire it."

  2. William & Mary is looking for a new Assistant Prof. in Hispanic Studies!!! (I'm an alumna and love the program! I am so indebted to them in my development as a person/scholar)
    From posting: We are interested in individuals with research and teaching expertise in the Spanish-speaking world with a focus on Afro/Asian diaspora or the Hispanic Global South (e.g., Diaspora Studies, Africana Studies, or Asian/Asia-Pacific Studies) covering any period between the 19th and 21st centuries, and who foreground the nexus of literary & cultural studies, race, and intersectionality."
