2024 Wrap-Up: Podcasts

Thanks to all of the #podcasts that invited me on this year!

My "Looking Back on Genre History" #ScienceFiction segment ran each month on #StarShipSofa.

I talked to #Potterversity about my book chapter "Dark Arts & Secret Histories: Investigating #DarkAcademia"; to #TrashCompactor & #NewBooksNetwork about my book #StarWars: Essays Exploring a Galaxy Far, Far Away; & to #NewBooksNetwork about my book #StarTrek: Essays Exploring the Final Frontier.

I also talked #Tocqueville with the #VitalRemnants podcast & #MaryShelley twice with #TheMcConnellCenter podcast.

I'm delighted to say that my essay "Dark Arts and Secret Histories: Investigating Dark Academia" has just been published in the new academic anthology #Potterversity from McFarland.

In the piece I define #DarkAcademia, distinguish the storytelling genre & its history from the aesthetic, & consider why there is an explosion of new DA storytelling happening now.

(One reason of many, I argue, is that authors such as Sarah Gailey, Naomi Novik, Victoria Lee, & others were both inspired by the Harry Potter series & moved to push back against J.K. Rowling's positions through their own works, which offer fresh, diverse perspectives & insightful, timely critiques.)
