Writing these days about portraits as symbols of cross-cultural diplomacy and it’s good to be reminded of these, here in the city where I live.

Reading for the train ride to VT.

@ashleyrattner Have you read Teresa Goddu’s essay about this? I really like it

This is a great and important project by my old colleagues @brooklynhistory

Solidarity with UNC grad workers who are leveraging their power as TA’s to combat the University’s plan to build a $5million dollar shrine to chattel slavery. And solidarity with everyone else protesting, in any way they deem necessary. #SilenceSam #ShutItDown

ACTION UPDATE: 15+ departments 59 TAs/ instructors *1725 final grades withheld* #StrikeDownSam

Very excited to be presenting my paper on a French colonial novel about Jane McCrea at Princeton’s Colonial Americas Workshop next Tuesday (12/11)!
