What a great interview! A window into this really important research on textiles and slavery, and the ways the researcher’s body in motion can figure things out that might otherwise elude us. It’s also such a good example of how research and teaching can build each other up.

Siebel embodies much of the US beer industry's historical growth. Even if it's not ending, this departure feels symbolic and dreadful.
