"The God in the Mirror" a very short research reflection, I wrote for the CSWR at Harvard about a Japanese countertradition of self-deification as part of a broader piece on Apotheosis in Japan. A quick read: cswr.hds.harvard.edu/news/2026/03...

“The Genealogy of Genealogy” has finally arrived in my mailbox! I will resist tediously promoting on here. But if anyone would like to host a Book talk, discuss it in a Reading Group or Podcast, or Teach it, I’d be happy to travel to pretty anywhere on the East Coast or Zoom in from afar.

It didn't arrive in time for my recent Baltic speaking tour, but now that I'm back I'm looking forward to digging into @drfrancisyoung.bsky.social 's new book, "Silence of the Gods: The Untold History of Europe's Last Pagan Peoples." Looks like a fascinating read.

Thrilled to see the Vietnamese edition of "Metamodernism: The Future of Theory" now out (published as THUYẾT SIÊU-HIỆN ĐẠI: Tương lai của Lý thuyết). It is a real joy to see the ideas finding new life and new readers. Grateful to the translators who brought it across. www.ired.edu.vn/xuat-ban/thu...

After a late night, I rose early and slipped out of Vilnius through the Gates of Dawn, seemed fitting. Northward now, by train. The ESSWE conference was a real gift! Thought-provoking talks, generous colleagues, and the honor of delivering a keynote. I’ll carry this city with me a while.

Labas, Vilnius! I will be here all week for ESSWE. Looking forward to connecting with folks at the conference. If you’re in Vilnius already, I’m giving a talk tomorrow (Monday) on the forthcoming Genealogy book, it would be great to see some folks there. Details in link. fb.me/e/5MZppPoQY?...

"Glimmering Gods of the Electric Age," a short reflection on some of the research I've been doing at Harvard this semester. I was heavily constrained by word-limit, but I thought some of you might find it interesting: cswr.hds.harvard.edu/news/05/08/2...
