My newest article is out in TDR: The Drama Review! It traces my recovery of one of the first Latinx participants in U.S. blackface minstrelsy in the nineteenth century. Thanks to Doug Jones and Kellen Hoxworth for supporting the development of this essay.

The President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, PPFP, has been a jewel in the crown for faculty development and recruitment at the University of California for years and the results have been an expanded faculty with almost 100% tenure rates — unprecedented success.

It's been a week since #NEH staff arrived at our jobs as public servants and discovered DOGE circumvented our databases and terminated our #humanities grants. Over 1,400 grants have been terminated and the majority of staff have been placed on leave. We remain in shock at the scale and subterfuge.

On Monday, March 31, 2025 we learned that DOGE is targeting the NEH with the aim of substantially reducing its staff, cutting the agency’s grant programs, and rescinding grants that have already been awarded. Learn what steps you can take here: nhalliance.org/federal-fund...

Many in higher education worry that President Trump’s efforts to bend academia to his will could end American leadership in research and science. Universities leaders are not finding many vocal allies to defend them.

I hear DOGE has come to NEH. NEH Chair Shelly C. Lowe (of the Navajo Nation) is out, and acting chair is Michael McDonald, best known for his legal career fighting affirmative action.
