As Sara Ahmed writes in Complaint! "Although complaint can be a shattering ... to make a complaint is often to fight for something. To refuse what has come to be is to fight to be."

Ribbon cuttings are fun! But not as fun as a new romance novel bookstore that’s also a wine bar!

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

Reached that moment where I THINK I finished drafting a book chapter and now have to print it out and write all over it with pen to see if any of it makes any sense whatsoever.

UD Food and Culture Festival organizer: Food and humanities 'necessary for a thriving democracy' The food and culture festival runs Feb. 2-7 at University of Dayton. Local and national speakers will dig into topics related to food, culture and the humanities.

We need the humanities and we need food — both are critical for a thriving democracy. Join us in Dayton next week to explore stories, food, history, culture, ideas, faith and even some opera!

Sometimes, all you can do is care about people out loud. Check in on them. Share things that make them smile.

It's easy to feel disconnected, even when we're not. In times of darkness, love harder and care more.

It matters.

Just brought these babies in for @sndorf.bsky.social 's students, who were tasked with listening solely via walkman.

In perfect harmony In his packed course, musicology professor Sam Dorf turns the Roger Glass Center for the Arts into something more than a classroom.

I LOVED teaching this class in 2025! It was a great opportunity to develop a new high-enrollment music course that drew upon the University of Dayton's commitments to community, experiential learning, and the Dayton region. I can't wait to teach it again in Fall 2026!
