"In Media Res" series
This could be awesome or a clusterfuck, or both, but just got a call for In Media Res, a short-format academic/critic/journalist collaboration in which you pick yr media text, write 300-500 words, and then join a conversation based on one of the following themes (in chronological order, one per week from January through June ( Read more... ) -
Asking yer friends = the new (old?) google!
