In nearly four decades of working in international affairs, I have never seen anything like it.

This has profound practical […]

Dear Students,
Again, my sincerest apologies for offering Classics and Contemporary American Culture this semester. When I pitched this class to the English department chair, I believed Harris would win and we’d spend the semester making interesting literary connections to her sober policy choices.

The two have decreed a flurry of acts of dismantlement that span the government, threatening to disappear a broad swath of what once existed, much of it foreshadowed by Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for drastically reorganizing and even dismantling government as we know it during a second Trump administration. To my mind, the recent massive removals of people, data, photos, and documents remind me of the words of... Read more
