Athens, GA

I'm plane-blogging en route to the University of Georgia, where I'm doing a colloquium talk tomorrow. I've been deep into college administrative work lately, so I'm truly looking forward to sharing ideas with new friends and old.

I like to combine a li'l fresh research with more mature lines of work in my talks, so this one is titled Social Research and The Price and Promise of Justice Reform. I'll be saying something about felon voting policy changes and then teeing up policy questions raised by newer experimental work on employment discrimination against people with low-level arrest records. As always, I'll be blabbing about Contexts to anyone who will listen. Please stop on by if you're in the neighborhood. I'll also be pumping longtime residents for stories about the post-REM/B-52s music scene in Athens (Mathew Sweet, Danger Mouse, Widespread Panic, Vic Chesnutt, Of Montreal, Drive-by-Truckers et al.).
