As we wind down the final week of the semester ahead of the exams, I am looking ahead to the calm before the grading storm and working on some pressing research and writing projects ahead of Christmas vacation. It seems there are never enough days from September to December to get to all of my non-teaching tasks, but I do have some longer form blog posts I am working on for the coming month where I will explore ideas around cultural capital, take a comparative look at three of my favourite films of the year, and publish an annotated reading list of art and visual culture related fiction and non-fiction titles to enjoy over the holidays. Finally, I hope to preview some great modern and contemporary art shows slated for spring and summer 2020. It is never too early to plan, and I have many great art city trips planned already for the year to come. Hang in there folks—we are almost there! Enjoy the links.
