The marketing department at Lesley University is no longer promoting the humanities, so the Massachusetts Medievalist has decided to post these reflections here: Early this past summer, marketing/communications asked me to do an interview for a promotional video about the importance of the humanities. Since I love talking at any length about literature, language, and critical reading, I agreed, and spent an engaging hour or so with a videographer.
I was all set to "Like" this post and then came to the end to find such an unlikable coda. What a terrible, short-sighted decision by Lesley to let go such an articulate advocate for the engaged life.
So sorry to hear about your termination from Lesley! It’s really sad to see what they’re doing to the faculty at the school. My favorite classes were with you! I love reading these when they pop up in my email and I hope you’re able to find a better place and opportunity than Lesley!
PS I love reading your posts and I miss having you as a professor! I’ve been reading a lot more outside of school too!
