If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard that….

“Rodin’s Dancers: Art and Performance in Belle Époque Paris” is in my office and can now be in yours, too! (DM me for discount code.) yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

You have GOT to be kidding me

Their connections to the fascist party might have had something to do with it

I saw some good signs in DC today, but none will ever beat the one I saw on January 21, 2017 in London, here at center: “Quite annoyed”

I like being asked to peer review articles…but I really don’t like receiving review requests out of the blue, on topics totally unrelated to my research, that require me to create a user ID and log into a system I’ve never used just to decline.

It’s going to be a long semester
