Anyhoo, this will be the last post preceding actual publication at the end of this month. Please order it for your libraries. It's been a long-drawn process but totally worth it.
A preview is available on the site, under the rubric 'major work' in cultural theory.

Helen set the bar in academic philosophy, not just for their ability to philosophize but also for their creativity and kindness. This is an immense loss.

I love this imagery: seeing Buddha meditating under a tree and about to achieve enlightenment Mara's army attacks. But such is the power of peaceful calm around Gautama that as arrows and spears approach they transform into flowers, and fall gently to the ground around Buddha. I reflect on it often.

I remember seeing patients struggling to breathe on television and online when SARS-CoV-2 first made its way to the states. The fear and the urgency were palpable. I was a graduate student—afraid, concerned, struggling to stay motivated—, still figuring out what I wanted to do with my career. 1/n
