    Why do we need another book on Brahms?

    Well, arguably, we don’t! But the In Context series offered us an irresistible opportunity to look again, and look differently, at a figure whose life and music (for better or worse) continues to fascinate musicians and audiences. As music historians, we wanted to ask questions that went beyond the actual notes on the page. Brahms […]

    Getting Past Stigma to Increase Social Connection

    “Why Bother?”: An Introduction

    Changes in the levels of political participation can alter the course of history.

    My research career has taken a somewhat non-linear path, starting in theoretical cosmology and ending up in marine sciences. Each transition has required me to learn new things, and so many years ago I was involved in an Antarctic Field Training Course run by the US National Science Foundation.

    Before Healing, We Need Connection

    Adapted from Morality and the Environmental Crisis We cannot heal our relation to nature—and even perhaps include nature into a new and vibrant “ecological” democracy—with methods we have used in cases of class, gender, and racial oppression. Dolphins cannot argue with us; and there are no autobiographies of hawks to reveal what we share.  We […]
