This year I am trying to read more fiction, especially between dissertation chapters.

I cannot recommend enough @emilystjams.bsky.social’s excellent novel, Woodworking. It was funny, sad, charming, and heartbreaking - all things that make the book a MUST READ.

I GREATLY ENJOYED @peteramescarlin.bsky.social's amazing biography, The Name of This Band is R.E.M.

This is not just a MUST READ for R.E.M. fans but a captivating cultural history of late 20th century US. Also a good dive into Georgia and UGA history.

Today is my Fulbright anniversary. Seven years ago, on March 16, 2018, my life changed.

I am not giving up on international exchange and the belief that all Fulbrighters are citizen-diplomats representing the best of the United States, in good times and bad.

This week I learned the Handbook of Indian History has been published. I contributed a chapter, "Independent India: Hawkish Neighbors and Few Friends." Congratulations to all the writers and a big thank you to editor, Lavanya Vemsani.

A BIG THANK YOU to all who donated, reposted, and sent encouraging words of support (and some did all three) for @contingent-mag.bsky.social's latest fundraiser. WE HIT OUR GOAL! This December series is fully funded. THANK YOU AGAIN! We are so grateful for your years of help and support.

We're SO CLOSE to $700! Can some generous folks this hour push us over $700?

We're less than $320 away from our goal of fully funding six pieces for our December Star Trek series. If you have a few bucks ($1-5), please send them our way.

Spent Friday night at the Carter Center listening to Professor Chen Jian talk about the history of US-China diplomatic relations and his book on Zhou Enlai. What a riveting and much needed talk!

post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn’t nirvana or pearl jam or soundgarden or alice in chains.
