Join the English Department on Friday, September 6 at 4 PM in Tate 102, where we'll open the year with our traditional one-read, this time a "one-listen" of three episodes of the American Vandal podcast Season 8 (Criticism, Ltd.):

• Episode 2: Hungover from the Bad Old Days of High Theory
• Episode 11: Criticism in the Conglomerate Era
• Episode 13: Ed Tech, AI, & The Unbundling of Research & Teaching

Please listen to the episodes in advance if you can. Carsten Strathausen, Sheri-Marie Harrison, and a third panelist TBA will offer brief opening remarks about the episodes, before opening things up for what we hope will be a lively conversation about the issues the podcasts raise.
