Sad news: Just heard that George P. passed away on 31 May at the age of 82. George was Professor Emeritus of English & Art History at and a noted theorist. My condolences to his wife and family.

I interviewed George in 2009 for the @ACM @sigweb newsletter: doi.org/10.1145/1507222.150722

commencement weekend lively and lovely in so many ways. Among them that Brown awards degrees to faculty who arenโ€™t Brown alums โ€” ad euendemโ€” recognizing degrees earned elsewhere but making you de facto alums. (A few others in uk and US do this.). We showed up in our funny robes and hats (and sunglasses) on this lovely day to applaud the graduates and collect this nice gesture.

Today we welcome tours of graduating seniors @ the and it's maybe my last chance to tell them how urgently they need history, humanities --and an understanding of the foundational importance of the early Americas. It's complexity, violence, all of it.

Today in Labor History March 22, 1794: President Washington signed the Slave Trade Act, which banned U.S. ships and citizens from engaging in the international slave trade. However, Americans continued to import and export slaves illegally, and other countries could still legally import slaves into the U.S. until 1807. A slave trader named John Brown, founder of Brown University, was the first person tried and acquitted under the Slave Trade Act. But the government still confiscated his ship. He was later elected to Congress.

Compared to UC Berkeley which despite the law is holding onto more than 9,000 Native American remains, colleges and museumsโ€™ holdings are puny. But ya know still not a good thing. Come on Come on

You can see which museums in your state are illegally holding Native remains here:

The continues to flex its muscle. Today an excellent piece on .

Matt Turner, an economics professor at , said adding lanes is a fine solution if the goal is to get more on the road. But most expansion projects cite reducing as a primary goal.

โ€œIf you keep adding lanes because you want to reduce traffic congestion, you have to be really determined not to learn from history,โ€ Dr. Turner said.
