10/10 - writing about land while on the land. Interdisciplinary biological stations forever.

When everything is hard, at least we can host a workshop that promises really good swag and a lovely, supportive community. Join us, online this Fall! www.ruralreconcile.org/programs/fal...

As markets churn and world orders reset, @jamesftierney.bsky.social and I have a new piece forthcoming in Yale Law Journal that couldn't be more timely. "Trading Acres" traces the risks of farmland financialization and analyzes the role of law in this ongoing rural land grab. 🧵

Let's just say there are a lot of really important and smart people coming for this symposium, and I'm not sure at all that I should be highlighted on this flyer like this... but I am super grateful for the chance to attend at all and to learn and engage in these conversations soon.

Picking up a cookie cake for this week’s property catch-up session, and I fear my students are going to think I’m telling them they are in the dog house. 😭😭😭

One of my favorite teaching days in property.

Looking forward to being at Yale School of the Environment later this week for this cool event. Excited to tell - and hear - some new stories about land.

Trying a new property office hour technique today - Cookies and Catching Up. But the cookies are fudge oatmeal bars (made by my daughter!), and the catching up may be not property-related. Times are hard. We're doing our best.

Just finished an exercise in my property class on the Coase Theorem and going to leave these extras - with the note - in the faculty lounge just to see what happens.

If your workshop doesn’t give you a workshop tattoo, maybe join us at Law and Rurality instead.

Kind of trippy to walk through colonial Williamsburg and then past a John Marshall statue en route to talk about property rights, including Indigenous land rights, for the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference this week. Thank you so much for hosting William & Mary.
