Heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in #Animaterialities and everyone who joined for my talk on the modern slaughterhouse and rise of mass image culture in the 20th century. So many great presenters exposing the depth of our reliance on nonhuman animals across human cultures

I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Yorick Blumenfeld, author and son of artist and photographer Erwin Blumenfeld. A pleasant summer afternoon discussing anti-Hitler art, skull collecting, and the overlooked role of death in his father’s work

My current research trip to Paris just happened to coincide with the reopening today of the Richelieu location of Bibliothèque BnF after ten years of renovation. As a work space, I give it a solid 8/10👌🏻 (having some trouble staying connected to the wifi 😮‍💨)

Foie pas fou

Presenting a paper today at 2 pm PST on architectural space and baboon butts at the London Zoo in the 1920s (it's not nearly as cute as it sounds) Register here: tinyurl.com/3dhm3jvv

Racing toward the deadline to distribute my dissertation, feeling like this Soutine goose (1933)
