Huge shout out to our own Timothy Brown! Check it out:
I’m quoted in this wonderful piece in UConn Today about our recently premiered Bloomfield Mosaic exhibit. This oral history project set out to capture the stories of the Jewish, African American and West Indian population of the CT suburb.

Pics from the second lecture at Wuhan University and we are now in the amazing city of Shanghai, which seems like the center of capitalism in the world.

First leg of the China lecture trip is over. The Americanists from all over the country who came for my talks were impressive. Many had spent time in the U.S. and were taken by American higher education now under severe attack.
