When I was an undergraduate student, we knew the most bizarre details from our professors’ lives. The gossip I could tell would fill volumes. But our students know nothing about us. The best they could do is decide that I’m married to the other Spanish professor which demonstrates a clear lack of imagination. The last bit of gossip I heard about people at work dates back to the early 2000s.
It’s social media. Nobody needs to gossip about anybody they know because they gossip about strangers. I’m not sure it’s an improvement.
