I’ve been lucky enough to work alongside Alyssa (& hope to resume doing so post sabbatical) and she’s wonderful. Quick, clear, and a real lover of authors and books. I hope you’ll reach out and share your sociology book project ideas with her!!
"I want to encourage a sense of solidarity in my relationships with my authors, and in the ways that we recognize all sorts of disruptions are happening for people right now and how we have to accommodate the work that we do to account for that."

How to be an "apocalyptic optimist"
Dana R. Fisher calls herself an "apocalyptic optimist" based on her research as a sociologist of large social movements. Her studies suggest that ever-increasing climate disasters will get people out in the streets demanding the action we need. She breaks down how to cultivate resilience to catastrophe in yourself and your community — and how to rally for change in the face of seemingly intractable problems.
