I am sad to share that my 14-day trip through classical Turkey with Dr. Christine Downing has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis. I am honored to have had Chris as my guide during my years of graduate studies. Chris was also the head and heart of my dissertation committee.

Democracy Speaking Engagement
Democracy Now?
I recently presented on Thomas Mann’s lecture The Coming Victory of Democracy at the McGowan house in Monterey, CA.—Link to YouTube Video of Presentation. It was a rich conversation.
Dr. Thomas Mann, mostly known for his best-sellers (Buddenbrooks, The Magic Mountain, Death in Venice, Dr. Faustus), also produced a wartime journalism legacy that deserves serious attention--perhaps now more than ever.
