Thanks so much for having me!

The Danger of MAGA History With Donald Trump back in the White House, the rewriting of the past has already begun.

I have a piece in The Progressive today on “The Danger of MAGA History.”

It’s about memory holes, memory trolls, and the creature in the Oval Office.

I hope you’ll read and boost or repost where you think there might be interest. Really hope this one can fly.

At the same time, this accomplishment comes after a long period of searching for both my partner and I. We know that landing jobs in the same region takes a significant amount of luck, and we remain in solidarity with all of our colleagues still navigating the job market.

I have truly wonderful students and colleagues, who I'm delighted to continue working with.

I'm thrilled to finally be able to announce that I've accepted a tenure-track position in the Geography department at Colgate University, where I've been a visitor for the past year and a half!
