Q3: What advice do you have for #literacies scholars for generative summer writing, whether it be dissertation work, articles we’ve left on the backburner, or other projects?
Q2: Let’s share our summer TBRs! What articles and books are on your summer reading list?
Q1: Wrapping up the academic year can mean a change in rhythm for many of us. What projects, side quests, and goals are you excited to pursue this summer? #literacies
A1: Suuuuuper excited to travel to Glasgow this summer for UKLA @uklitassociation.bsky.social 2026 and meet #literacies scholars from around the world (especially traveling with @rabani.bsky.social)
A2: I’ve got a whole stack of books on collective memory, including some fun creative nonfiction texts. One example, which should arrive in the mail today, is Lafon’s “When You Listen to This Song: On Memory, Loss, and Writing.” #literacies
