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.

My new book, "World War Zoos," is coming out with UChicagoPress in April 2025. I am excited to share more in the coming months! press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book… #zoos #worldwarii #militaryhistory #environment #conservation #animals

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.

The cover of my new book, #WORLDWARZOOS, is now live. If you are interested in zoos, war, and people's complex attitudes toward animals, I hope you will consider preordering it. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book… #zoos #WorldWarII #fascism UChicagoPress #animals
