I teach in the writing and honors programs at U of Michigan Dearborn. Husband, dogfather, member of resistance. CR: “On Freedom” by Tim Snyder.
Grateful to teach in the Social Science building for the first time in ages, which means a weekly, post-class ritual at the nicest spot on campus!

Great turnout—lecturers and tenure-stream faculty and lots of students—showing up and speaking out against austerity measures at U of Michigan Dearborn including 25-30% increases to course caps (e.g., 30 students in first-year comp) and lecturer layoffs, changes made without faculty deliberation.
