This Week:

  • We dropped my son off at Camp Stomping Ground, and then picked him up again on Friday. It’s an amazing place and he really loves his time there. We’re also really proud of him for spending a whole week in an unfamiliar (though delightful) place.
  • I bought a bike trailer, in the hope of using less fossil fuel on the planet.
  • I finished reading Chris Hayes “A Colony in a Nation”, a trenchant and rich book about criminal justice and punishment that is rhetorically interesting though quite light on sketching alternatives or solutions.
  • At the Museum, I did some work on bringing more Indigenous artists into the galleries, and advertising for our newest exhibit “Velocity and Position: The Human Figure at Motion and at Rest”.
  • I did some work helping the Hartwick Field School communicate and collaborate with Indigenous communities.
  • I did some prep work on my syllabus for MUST252: North American Material Culture.
