Honored that my article "'A Way of Knowing:' Adrienne Rich's Marxism & the Poetics of Revolution" has been published, part of a special issue of @Ariz_Quarterly on Adrienne Rich, edited by the amazing @CynthiaRWallace. Special thanks to @adrienne_rich29! muse.jhu.edu/article/857757

I was featured on the recent episode of @NPR show, Code Switch, where I discuss my latest book, A History of the World in Six Plagues. Now more than ever, we need to support public media so that we can have a well informed public to make humane decisions. npr.org/2025/03/26/124089210…

With measles on the rise, what we can learn from past epidemics : Code Switch

As the U.S. health system grapples with new outbreaks and the risk of old diseases making a comeback, we're looking to the past to inform how people in marginalized communities can prepare themselves...

If you're restricting how much news you read these days, you have plenty of time for this: me and Jean Mills talk about drafty houses, literary modernism, pacifism, Jane Harrison, and interesting things that our students have said that still stick with us

The latest in the "Visualities" Forum (edited by @alixbeeston @pdabashi): Read @ria4983 on the aspects of "Black Narcissus" that "elide, evade, and ultimately refuse to be controlled" by its directors: modernismmodernity.org/forum…

Hello summer! DRAFTY HOUSES is now published online and soon in print too (it takes about 15 days to make a book I hear). Please order if your library can do so, and be in touch if you want to read and don't have access

Saddened to hear about Donald Sutherland, an incredible actor and antiwar activist. I was honored to meet him while in a high school production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle with his son. During a post-rehearsal car ride home, he talked about Brecht as I listened in awe. RIP.
