When a break from reviewing book proofs & learning the ins and outs of Sophia Loren’s A-list 90th birthday party (lol, yep) is maybe even more productive than the aforementioned treasure hunt.. behold, chocolate zucchini muffins! #SummerVacation (??)

Last day of work!
Cleaning up early this morning, I took down the Italian flag in my classroom: a bold move as the program is sunset, but excited about this new bone to chew on.
Let recovery mode begin! And Europe, three weeks out 🇩🇪 🇮🇹

In a fortuitous turn of events today, I was asked to teach Sophomore Seminar: a course dedicated to thinking about theories and systems of power — what brought them to fruition, what keeps them in power, and what (and who) threatens their existence.
This second decade of teaching feels different!
