  1. Just don’t write the obligatory “MLA Conference Paper Title Rant” I see every January. So so so tired of that one. “Oh look! Someone wrote a paper titled ‘Jane Austen and the Masturbating Girl’! Whoa! What *are* those wacky English professors trying to do, teach our children how to masturbate?” I had Eve Sedgwick. I heard the Masturbating Girl paper as an in-class lecture. It’s really not that exciting (nor was I really persuaded by her thesis). The most boring papers tend to have the sexiest titles.
