Relentlessly optimistic teacher of mostly depressing things at UW Oshkosh. Interested in everything, but mostly international law, European Union law and politics, climate governance, and the scholarship of teaching & learning. Looks terrible in hats.
Steinbeck's East of Eden; Mantel's Wolf Hall trilogy (esp. The Mirror and the Light); and I love, love, love Wouk's The Caine Mutiny. I also thought O'Farrell's Hamnet was wonderful.

You could see if a local university career center has a place to donate business/professional clothing that is good quality. Students can't often afford nice business attire and these types of "career closets" can be a great way to help them out.

Judge Luttig! Welcome to Bluesky, and know that you always have an open invitation to return to Oshkosh!

I respect this. My meal plan is always at the top of my Outlook calendar!

This is one of my favorites; always makes me tear up, especially now that my own children are getting older. I so appreciate your posts on poetry (your own and others), even if I don't always comment. Thank you for being a beautiful voice.

My issue is that I toss the markers that don't work on the floor so I can throw them away, but then forget to collect/toss them so they end up back in the rotation and the cycle begins again...

This is how my Dad used to make them for me as a kid: toasted and buttered. I haven't eaten one in ages, but this sounds really good right now! The salty/sweet combination was heavenly.

This is infuriating. And only part of the full amount that was NOT spent on our students or faculty. Good Lord.

This poem is a gut-punch. But so, so beautiful and powerful. Thank you for sharing it.

Beautiful! I knew you were the right person to ask! :) Thanks so much!

This is such an excellent resource, especially for those of us teaching about climate governance. Thank you!
