Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

Today is publication date for our Fragilities volume!

"At a time when it may be easy to fall into a defeatist melancholia, if not outright pessimism, the book is an invitation to think from fragility to build life-affirming politics and ethics"

It's got an amazing line-up & it is open-access! 🤓

An original essay collection that explores the generative dimensions of fragility, which can help reveal new life-affirming politics and ethics.At a time w

Incoherence isn’t so much a sign of hypocrisy as coalitional speech. The voice of the politician speaks many ways at once. It’s all umbrella and dog whistle, or strategic ambiguities — necessarily so.

Working on a piece that defends funding for NPR and PBS. Whatever their problems, we cannot let Fox News become our default "public sphere." There needs to be alternatives, including imperfect yet aspirational ones.
