The week’s writing report

I decided that perhaps PMLA or Profession, and not a radical education journal, are the place for that article. I realized my book title might only cover the Caribbean case. And a question I got: does my contention that race and state are a really different focus from mestizaje and nation hold together? For that … More The week’s writing report

Kant’s 1764 observations on feeling; the sublime and the beautiful; … More Some random notes from earlier
