Abstract: "What good are the humanities?" To practical people who ask this question, my answer will sound paradoxical: The humanities are good for training a taste for doubt. All research starts with doubt, but mostly to resolve it. Humanists don't care as much about answers as about the activity of thinking. They let doubt linger and invite interpretation, conversation, reflection, human contact. The humanities promote sociability and support democracy. If people don't enjoy talking together, hearing various opinions, and sparring sometimes for the sheer fun of it, democracy declines. When rationality and AI eliminate doubt, we become indifferent to differences of perspective, experience, and to each other.

Abstract: In this essay, we argue for administrative abolition, that is, the elimination of all college presidents, provosts, deans and other top level administrators who we argue form a parasitical group that was developed over time in order to exercise both political and financial control over faculty, staff and students. We examine the way that the idea of "shared governance" disguises the de facto dictatorship of administration over faculty self-governance, explore the history of how this power grab took place and furthermore explore alternative forms of faculty self-management in both US history and abroad (especially in Latin America).

Abstract: These brief notes in response to Balfour's reading of Morrison's Paradise explore narrative as an analytic means by which to hold the contradictions constituting democratic crises of injustice and desires for freedom within a shared practice of mutual witness and the possibilities of repair.

Abstract: This study focuses on contemporary cultural projects dealing with the Greek revolutionary event of the 1940s. Empirically, the study examines a growing corpus of different cultural practices dealing with aspects of the Greek 1940s. These cultural practices are viewed as counter-archives and conceptualized using the notion of the proletarian public sphere associated with counter-hegemonic legacies, discourses, narratives, and practices situated in today's Greek political antagonisms. The past is understood to haunt the present in instances when the constitutive violence of hegemonic discourses and institutions unfolds. The projects studied create public presences of subjects and circumstances repressed by the official Greek public sphere. This signifies a production of knowledge from below, beyond what official knowledge regimes foreground and exclude. The projects unfold utopian margins, pointing towards the existence of a living social memory of emancipatory and revolutionary struggles that remain incomplete.
