Because summer is busy and scheduling is hard, our Summer Conversation Series is going to be delayed by a week this time around. But worry not! We decided to take the opportunity to catch up on some academia news/triggering mess that has been floating around this summer. We've got thoughts on Nikole Hannah-Jones (thoughts recorded before she fully ghosted UNC, stay tuned for updates and also we stan) and Howard Dean Phylicia Rashad making a whole ass out of herself and that school. And we end on some optimistic news about the future of the humanities. No reading suggestions this week, but we will be back next week with a great interview and all the books you don't have time for.
