So quick in fact that I’m going to bullet-list it:
- It so happens that two books are coming out on the same day–30 April–the edited collection to which I have contributed, and my first monograph. The Publications page has all the details; I just updated that. (Link will open in a new window.)
- I am getting toward the end of the stack of secondary-source reading for Book 2. I probably have another six weeks. Speaking of Book 2…
- As I wrote on the Publications page, and sent out over social media, I was unable to secure funding for the second necessary archival work trip to Maryland this summer, despite applying for all the grants and fellowships I knew about. So, to keep the project on schedule, as I’ve already applied for a big 2021 grant for Book 3, I started a GoFundMe campaign to raise the necessary $2,100, or as much of it as I could. If you would like to know more about that, it’s on the Publications page, and there’s a link at the bottom of each page of the website. We’re about 2/3 of the way there. Contributions in any amount are appreciated and will be properly acknowledged. (Links will open in new windows.)
- I hope everyone reading this is well and getting along all right. We’re fine here.
