Summary/Abstract |
There are some things the pandemic didn’t change. I am still interested in doing scholarship; friends and colleagues have said that they are too. More than ever, I acknowledge the presence of the present in my approach to the past, having abandoned any conceit that what was going on around me had nothing to do with my choice of subjects or how I thought about them. Academics are embarrassingly well suited to lockdowns, being introverted by the requirements of their profession and possibly by nature: give us our research notes, books and articles, an internet connection, and a place with a closing door, and we have all we need to write. Even while I was teaching last spring—I am not teaching this fall—the shape of my days didn’t shift much. I had time.
