Brilliant ITSS🌊 student assistant Kamma Strøm has interviewed #historian @dexnell.bsky.social! You can read his thoughtful reflections on his career and on the interconnected Greater Southern #Caribbean here: 🌎 inthesamesea.ku.dk/blog/intervi...
Dexnell smiles slightly and looks into the camera, with his head tilted a little to one side. He is wearing glasses, a plaid shirt and a grey jacket, and he is outside under a tree, so you can see bark and leaves in the background.
