It was a great panel. If you are interested in the histories of LGBT vets (Stur), WWI & the New Negro movement (Jefferson), and military stigmas about bedwetting (me), check it out.

As a graduate of the U (that is the U of Minnesota), I'm not surprised Minnesotans had a governor like this in the first place. It has been nearly two decades since I finished my PhD in Minneapolis and I still miss it.

Had my students read "Epilepsy and Me" (wellcomecollection.org/series/XjlgkRE…) by @DisabilityStor1 -- by far their favorite work of the semester. Provoked thoughtful discussions about illness, prejudice, violence, and body politics.
