Now that I'm happily settled into a server I see myself staying on long-term (Humanities Commons), I thought I would finally write an #introduction.

I'm Smaran Dayal, currently an Assistant Prof. of #Literature at #Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey.

I recently got my #PhD in #ComparativeLiterature from #NYU. My PhD dissertation, which I'm now working into a book was a study of literary #Afrofuturism, in particular the novels of #SamuelDelany and #OctaviaButler.

Along with Ulrich Baer, during the first year of the pandemic, I co-edited an anthology of American literature titled Fictions of America: The Book of Firsts.

My primary research interests are #GlobalAnglophone and #AfricanAmerican literature, #postcolonial literary studies, #queertheory and #queerliterature, and, centrally, #sciencefiction studies.

Lovely to (re)connect with you all here!

@SaronikB hey pal. #litstudies for now. But we might move over to #litodons or #litaphants if there’s some consensus. We’re the one field without hashtag consensus haha.

@rmaitzen there’s been talk of using #litodons and #litaphants but neither seems to have stuck. Maybe just #LitStudies or #LitScholars?

So, I like #litaphants, don’t get me wrong. But I think we should follow the pattern of the other disciplines. There’s #histodons, #astrodons, etc. I suggest Literary Studies use #litodons going forward. It follows the format others are using and makes sense. #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #LitStudies

Those of you who are still on #Twitter, have you noticed that your TL is just a lot of algorithm-promoted posts by people you don’t follow now? It used to be a mix but it’s at least 80% now. It’s so sad to see that platform being run into the ground. But hopefully it’s for the best and all the lovely people who made it what it is reconvene in more democratic and less corporate spaces like Mastodon. #twittermigration #academicchatter #litaphants
