Breaking my Bluesky hiatus to echo Luke’s sentiments. I’m thrilled to have been elected co-president of @spacebetween.bsky.social. The Society is the reason I have tenure - I have no doubts on that score - and this is just a drop in the repayment bucket.

It’s Space Between week! Let’s go! @spacebetween.bsky.social

A treat for folks who attend “Peace and Conflict in the Space Between”: the Spencer Museum of Art curated an exhibit for us. Here’s a preview of the works on view @spacebetween.bsky.social
