A busy day today! First a lunch time talk for UM's Center for Global Black Studies, then hopping a flight to Guelph for tomorrow's celebration of my new volume, The Improviser's Classroom. Feeling grateful & a bit in awe of what's unfolding. ✨🙏

These growing piles of books are a sure sign of semester's end: grad student advising, book proposal work, rec letter writing, Spring syllabus planning. Not pictured: all the digital file submissions to be graded. Definitely grateful for all this hustle & also in need of rest.

In case you're wondering, here's page 90. I don't see anything egregious but 🤷🏻

Grabbed my used copy of this book off the shelf when Steve Lehman mentioned that he liked it in our interview last week. The previous owner had other thoughts.

Shared with immense gratitude for all those involved: The Improviser's Classroom: Pedagogies for Cocreative Worldmaking, coming early 2025 from @templeunivpress.bsky.social

My first visit to Wynwood, a district that celebrates the power of street artists to continually remake our worlds through their imagination, creativity, & artistry.

This past week musician & activist Julia Keefe (Nez Perce) shared stories of her advocacy of Indigenous communities on & off stage w/ the @univmiami.bsky.social. 🙏
