I'm really looking forward to this series!
The AWS will be hosting a virtual Simone Weil reading group this coming school year. We will read four different works drawn from Weil's writings on literature, politics, and spirituality and we would love for all Weil enthusiasts to join us: simoneweilsociety.org/events . 🧵

I've joined the Substack crowd to share notes-in-process toward my next book project, which dances with the concept of "agonistic communion"--living together, finding each other, in protracted struggle. This week's post is about my current climate collapse/climate hope reading.
