I just submitted the manuscript for UNIVERSITY KEYWORDS. I have learned so much from these contributors and their essays will be essential for organizing, teaching, and researching U.S. higher ed. Cannot wait for you all to read it.

Thanks! Appreciate this!!

Damn it, 5 years ago this article could've saved me weeks of research. Oh well. Beautifully-written ode to (and lament about) Staten Island: thebaffler.com/salvos/i-got...

Staten Island’s Politics of Resentment

Lately, Staten Islanders have been acting out more than usual.

Thank you for reading and for your kind words!!!

Staten Island’s Politics of Resentment

They’re not just around, they’re bigger than ever!

Your dad (and you) must have seen some incredible and terrible things over those years

Yes, a really sad story—I mention it in the piece. SI is a long way off from reckoning with this history

I grew up on Staten Island and lived the first 30 years of my life there, until 2002. This is an excellent article IMO. I would also point in a fictional context to @nkjemisin.bsky.social 's the City We Became duology, which captures Staten Island's residents' ethos in painful accuracy

For @thebaffler.com I try to explain Staten Island, my hometown. It’s a story of migration, integration, secession, racism, violence, the Dump, and the new generation of demagogues who’ve emerged to capitalize on Islanders’ longstanding grudges. thebaffler.com/salvos/i-got...

Yeah someday I’d like to write about it at length!
