Writing for Antenna was a wonderful way to be part of a blog without feeling guilty about not posting enough. It was a way to meet and engage others and learn about corners of the field I knew little about. Most of all, however, as Allison says above, it was always a place to share the love–or, admittedly, the anger and frustration, but even then it was passion!

You made a great thing happening here, not only getting various generations of grad students involved and motivated, but also doing a large amount of the work yourself when no one else would or could do it.

And I hope we’ll always have an archive of all these posts here. I keep going back to reread and cite and teach certain posts and conversations.

Thank you for all your years of work and for making this space happen in the first place!

Antenna really kept me engaged as a writer when i was too burdened by administration to write very much or very often. My posts for Antenna remain some of my favorite pieces because they were “what I did for love” and they always re-inspired me as a writer. Having the opportunity to share my passions was invaluable to me, and I will miss this forum and community more than I can say. Thank you all, so very much.

I might suggest that people who liked Antenna also check out Crooked Timber http://crookedtimber.org/ , an academic group blog that sometimes covers an intersecting topic area.

Thanks again for all your work in making Antenna; I hope the archives continue to provide valuable insight to all who stop by.
