Somehow made it to San Francisco and back to DC unscathed by the winter weather! #rsa2026 was a blast, happy to see how we think of the #renaissance expanding and the renewal of the #Africanastudies area in the field.

I will also be chairing this panel organized by Anna More for the Africana Studies discipline at #rsa2026 Saturday morning!

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

this is unsustainably bananas and not impeaching and convicting these crooks grows ever more irresponsible and unpatriotic by the hour

These people really want me to be explode from rage this month I guess…I am finding it heard to imagine what the healing part of the rage will look like…

Umm Black students, faculty etc feel uncomfortable and no one cares, tf? ““If we had flipped Black to white in this situation and imagined Black students being made deliberately uncomfortable…I think we all agree that would be unacceptable.” www.chronicle.com/article/i-do...

Streaming @sierramatute.bsky.social and @cleahy.bsky.social en conversación con Nicholas Jones sobre su nuevo libro Cervantine Blackness! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jZi...

I forgot to add @cleahy.bsky.social will be there! This will certainly be a provocative conversation about the field of early modern studies and race!

Comically offensive as usual www.npr.org/2025/10/11/n...

Quick poll: Is Bad Bunny Black, yes or no? (Context: I asked this question and my students spent an hour debating it.)
