I just slot 20 minutes of something my daughter calls "Blank Rehab" into my morning routine. I also mutter things to myself like "C'mon right big toe," "C'mon left hip." It's all so humiliating.

I teach the history of US foreign relations/Cold War at the University of Kansas. I wrote a book on the history of the concept of global poverty and I'm especially interested in "global" thinking/practice after 1945.
