Reading Menna Agha's The Invention of Nubian Deserts before class. I paired this essay with chapters by Diana Davis, whose work I really, really like.

It turns out that i struggle to teach the topics that I like most. There's so much to say and so little time. For the trees & deserts week (I teach them together), I chose excerpts from Scott's Seeing Like a State, D. Moon's "Planting Trees in Unsuitable Places" & 👇excerpts from this amazing volume.

ForestFridays are turning into KršFridays (kršni petak? i'm open to suggestions), mostly because forests & karst were two parts of the same coin in much of the early 20th century discussions.

Here: the shape of wind.

Also, hackberry is a tree of many names: koprivić, kustelić, kostela, ladonja...

tomorrow my ottoman class discusses borderlands, so what better source material is there than epistolary exchanges across the Ottoman/Habsburg/Venetian borders about contraband, trade, and not-so-uncommon slavery. let's see how many i can translate till tomorrow🤞

in tomorrow's class, we're talking about the life cycles of pearls—a great object and commodity that captures a wealth of meaning as well as extraction practices and labor. are we going to mention the who's-got-bigger pearls kerfuffle? you bet!
