We had an exemplary keynote address from Gabriel Winant in an extraordinary setting - the Murphy Auditorium at The Richard H. Driehaus Museum! What a fascinating discussion of progressivism and Social Security in the most beautiful place! #shgape2026

I'm happy to share the first issue of Rust Belt Studies. I'm on the board and helped review the issue! In it you'll find thoughtful rustbelt-centric storytelling and teaching practices for the humanities. Congrats to everyone involved!

The Schemers have much more to fear, and they know it.
As best I can tell, KBJ is being true to herself, true to her oath, and true to her native land. That’s my take, anyway. (P.S. Harlan was alone in dissent, too, and that aged well.)

The NEH has been a singular force for bringing people together. In this moment of hate, fear and isolation, the NEH helped us learn about our past and about each other.
Today we are losing almost all of the NEH public servants. We are all in their debt. A national shame. A profound cultural loss.
