    Untangling the Transnational Law and Politics of Criminal Justice

    Criminal law has long served as a powerful symbol of the state’s monopoly over the use of violence. However, as the world becomes more economically, technologically, and socially interconnected, domestic processes of criminal justice policymaking are increasingly enmeshed within processes of transnational legal ordering. For example, domestic processes of legislating and enforcing drug laws are […]

    Bridging the Horizons: Paul and the White Privileged Church

    The discussion of privilege, especially, “white privilege” is a hot button subject that gets routinely discussed in news commentary, social media, in sociology classes, or anywhere where race is a presenting issue. For me as white male to address such a subject could be judged as potentially unwise since it is so easy to court […]

    Editing Thomas Hardy’s ‘Under the Greenwood Tree’

    The first thing to say for any reader who is not familiar with scholarly editions like this of Hardy’s fiction, is that it is different from all others and really significant. It gives, if you combine the text with the footnotes on the same page, the whole history of Hardy’s imaginative involvement with each work, […]

    Editing Hardy’s ‘The Return of the Native’

    My daughter is taking an undergraduate course in Shakespearean theatre this semester, and one of her foundation readings is Elinor Fuchs’s influential short essay, ‘E.F.’s Visit to a Small Planet: Some Questions to Ask a Play’. Having spent long periods over several years on a small planet of my own, Thomas Hardy’s Egdon Heath, this […]

    Editing Thomas Hardy’s ‘The Woodlanders’

    My love affair with The Woodlanders began many years ago when I covered much of the groundwork for a scholarly edition while doing my MA —entitled “Materials for an edition of Thomas Hardy’s The Woodlanders”. Much of the enjoyment for me as a textual editor is to see the development of a work and in […]

    Editing Thomas Hardy’s ‘Desperate Remedies’

    In some ways producing a scholarly edition of Desperate Remedies is easier than editing other Hardy novels, first of all because there is no extant manuscript. The story is that after he completed the text Hardy was moving lodgings, and when he discovered that the MS wouldn’t fit in his portmanteau, he destroyed it rather […]

    Are We Going to Keep in Touch Once This Is Over?

    LAWRENCE, KS— The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the way we keep in touch, but will it last when face-to-face conversation is safe again?  I’ve been interviewed dozens of times about my new book, “Relating Through Technology” (Cambridge University Press). Journalists keep asking me, do you think this will transform our habits of mediated connection? My […]

    Cabin Lockout

    When COVID19 hit Norway people were given strict cabin lockout. The government-imposed quarantine meant not only enforcing staying home orders, closing schools, and promoting social distancing in other ways. More severely, Norwegians were prohibited by law to travel to what is, in effect, the very core of their self-fashioning: their cabins. It was the equivalent […]
