I teach southern studies at the University of Alabama. Happiest when walking around looking at shapes and colors. Writing JIM CROW U (JHU Press).
Missed this when it came out, but so glad to have come across it in my local bookstore. Perfect read while thinking over a spring seminar on southern memoir.

Discussed this book with my Landscapes of the South class yesterday. An astonishingly beautiful book in so many ways. And one of the most interesting discussions I've ever had with students.

Sad to hear of the passing of the brilliant artist Larry Walker. One of the coolest experiences I've had at UA was getting to hear him talk about his life and art one winter evening in 2019.

Started working today on something incredibly cool with colleagues across several departments, and there is something so exhilarating about projects that blast through disciplinary walls.

Everyone in my humanities building looks incredible today because it's finally cool enough out to wander around in cardigans and shawl collars.

Really excited to be teaching a grad course on southern cultures this spring, but narrowing down to 13 books is so hard!
