For media studies/humanities folks… I know to track the big stuff (talks, pubs, new courses), but what are some of the smaller things I and other ECRs should be tracking? From evals, PD, etc.? @PdcScms
If I could give one piece of unsolicitied advice to new faculty, it would be this: Keep your CV on your computer desktop and update it EVERY time you give a lecture, submit a paper, take a professional development course...EVERYTHING. Going back and doing this is painful!

Wishing I could have taken these classes when I was in college and wishing I could take them now! An absolutely killer foundation in gender and sexuality studies in these syllabi.

Finding myself suddenly sobbing at any scene of Stepmom is why I most miss cable.
From Thanksgiving to Christmas, I reserve the right to watch Stepmom once a day, don’t @ me

So proud of @NURTVF faculty for leading on this issue!
Students have pushed for years to have all-gender bathrooms in every building at NU. That still hasn’t happened. Some Faculty Senate members called for NU to act now in a Wednesday meeting.

I had just been thinking about how I would love to teach a class with this premise! For now, I’ll settle for a series of movie nights…

I used to fall asleep watching The Philadelphia Story every night for years as a child.
As someone who rarely does repeat viewing, I find this intriguing! This is an extreme example but are there films that people rewatch on a regular basis?
