Opinion | Why DOGE Slashed the National Endowment for the Humanities (Gift Article) Eliminating federal funding for the humanities saves next to no money, but it will cost the American people something precious.

β€œAmericans really like book festivals and local history museums…We especially like it when such gifts are available to everyone, and not just to those who can afford the price of a ticket.” Excellent @margaretrenkl.bsky.social on the high ROI of the NEH. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧡 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

It was an enormous pleasure and privilege to chair our first keynote speaker at #SDNDurham2025, Professor Pratima Prasad, with a fascinating paper on enslavement, marronnage and freedom in the French Indian Ocean in a spectacular venue. Very much looking forward to the book! @uksdn.bsky.social

From the songs of the workers to Wagner, vaudeville and yodelling - a great panel covering humour, parody and cultural identity throughout the C19th. #SDNDurham2025

Selma is Stronger than MAGA On Loving Your Country

My latest essay is up. β€œSelma is Stronger than MAGA: On Loving Your Country.” Inspired by the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday…and, ironically Justice Kennedy. READ AND SHARE.

What Do We Do With Monstrous Mentors? It’s time for a reckoning.

I wrote a piece about a certain flavor of academic abuse. I have carried parts of this story for upwards of 25 yrs, & I’m grateful to @chronicle.com for helping me to tell it.
