I usually give a couple of Public Scholarship talks in the region, and I love that part of my job. But this talk, given the venue, has me especially excited.

Excited to be teaching 200-level Sustainability & Climate Action Planning and 400-level Community-based Study of Environmental Issues this fall. Not pictured: lots of articles by brilliant folks. The top book is MY assigned reading this semester because I’m learning something new this year, too.

Thrilled to be going back to Australia! For this two-week trip, I am part of a group of Colgate University faculty and staff visiting universities in Melbourne and Brisbane, as well as Heron Island Research Station within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. My job is great.

I’m still in the midst of my reading between semesters, but I wanted to shout out this book. It’s a fantastic exploration of the Mississippi River, New Orleans, and the region's complex politics and geography. I highly recommended.

Check out my awesome partner, Chandra Russo, and her new book, White Flank. In her words: "This book was built on the wisdom and experiences of organizers who have dedicated their lives to fighting for multiracial democracy. They give me hope in these dark times." bookshop.org/p/books/whit...

Two students, Leigha Schultze & Charlie Tourbaf, presented “Redefining Wilderness: Comparative Perspectives and Policy Impacts in Protected Areas Across the U.S., Canada, and Australia” at the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences annual conference in Minneapolis today. They did great!

I cannot remember the last time I ordered a hardcopy of a journal issue in my field, but this seemed like a special occasion @bryanbrasmussen.bsky.social

Of all the dumb ideas this guy cares about, changing the name of The Gulf is about the dumbest. I don’t think the name should be changed, but IF it was to be changed, it should be “The American Sea” as this book pointed out. By the way, you should read this book…it’s amazing.

"Condors over Cattle: Managed Wilderness and the Pastoral Tradition in Northern Baja California" is out in Journal of the Southwest. This work with Bryan Rasmussen results from field visits and interviews and explores tensions between conservation and pastoralism. Message me if you'd like a copy.

After six month here, we leave Australia in a week. I will miss it so much. It was amazing, fun, and a tremendous learning experience. Not pictured, dozen of articles on Australian environmental issues and a few books I read for fun that were not about Oz.
