Unfortunately, though fandom studies in my hobby, my dissertation is in the much less sexy field of ethnic politics & migration studies. Well. I think it's sexy. :)

The TWC folks are super super nice--I've been a reviewer for them, and actually have an article going through the revise-and-resubmit process at the moment. I wish I had an easily accessible scholarly community like that in my main field; it's a bit of work to build one, particularly when (like me) you go to a graduate school where not a high percentage of the students go on to academic careers--many go to work in policy or nonprofits--or leave the US to teach (often to return to their home countries). So. Yeah. My advisors are being helpful. but I like casting a superwide net, lol.
