The president of the American Comparative Literature Association sent a letter today informing academics that their role is to “explain to students, parents, administrators, and the general public issues like the … weaponization of white, male, hetero privilege.”
Zero lessons learned.
I know. And I used to like and respect that association so much.

It’s like, why not just move on, you know? Literature departments are being phased out everywhere. We have serious problems in the discipline. And they think this is a helpful approach? It’s 2026. Let’s move on already.
Stupid fucks.

You are right. It is really bad. You already know how I feel about MLA and LASA, but ACLA is now in the same category.
I am going back to ACH this year. First time in more than a decade. Wish me good luck.
