Are you working on a book-length project on issues such as rights, collective struggle, political representation, or speech? Are you interested in making the familiar strange and the strange familiar when it comes to defining what democracy even means? I want your book manuscript!
The students are the teachers. Very proud of our student guides at UVA for navigating a difficult moment and taking risks. There is no script for our moment. And they have some great alumni to look to as models, right @profmmurray.bsky.social ?

UVA students resume history tours without officials' approval
In August, administrators banned the volunteer student guide service from giving university-sanctioned historic tours. Now, the club has decided to go out on its own.
