I have been working over the last 8 months to bring Jamaica Osorio, esteemed scholar & kanaka maoli activist, to speak at Stanford. Osorio's timely and powerful lecture is entitled, "E Mau ke Ea: Sovereignty, Sanctuary, and Collective Liberation." Please join us in person or on zoom! (RSVP below)

This was so fun to write!

Another compelling way to think about politics and time. Gratitude to @polphilpod.bsky.social for all his great interviews.

This was such a fun and interesting conversation!

This is such a service to the discipline!

The second day of the HCAS Symposium Theoretical Foundations for Interdisciplinarity was opened by @aejm.bsky.social (Stanford University) with her inspiring talk "Text-as-Data in the History of Political Thought". Program: blogs.helsinki.fi/interdiscipl...

Goodreads reviews of Machiavelli's The Prince: (1) "Ewww self-serving theories of tyranny for personal gain are sooo not hot." (2) “Some fine points, but it's basically the most boring fucking cover letter you'll ever read.” (3) “Rather useful if you get the urge to invade a small country.”

Huge congratulations to @matthewblongo.bsky.social for his starred review in Kirkus for The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain - so excited to read the book!
