Who owns guns in America today, and why? We argue White Southerns responded to the emancipation of Black Southerners by buying firearms, and this culture continues: slavery in 1860 predicts today's gun ownership in the US South. Now out at @PNASNexus : academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…

With #SESP wrapping up, it’s a good time to say I’m hoping to recruit a grad student (or 2!) this year! If you’re interested in guns, culture, or novels/reading, please reach out - I’d love to hear from you and chat about Madison. (Pls share!)

“What is it about fiction, about poetry, about narrative that makes it so powerful? …that makes philosophers think of mass murder?” - @NickButtrick on Plato #SESP2023
