Just read A Freedom Rider’s Perilous Path in the On Wisconsin magazine, and it reminded me of the research I conducted at GSW: https://t.co/jCiKYg3St7.

Here's the link to my paper: https://t.co/xkyQRIIvfl.

And another on the Stolen Girls: https://t.co/f1xZW0ZXFh.

A new study from Smithsonian scientists analyzes ant and fungus species, and uncovers the origins of their close partnership. Fascinating stuff: https://t.co/n5tPBmzboK.

Happy 100th Birthday, President Jimmy Carter!
“As I've grown older, I've become convinced that the things that matter most are the things that you can't see — the love you share with others, your inner purpose, your comfort with who you are.” #Jimmy100

Adding to my reading list.

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

Check out "Plundered: How Racist Policies Undermine Black Homeownership in America," by UW's inaugural James E. Jones Jr. Chair, @ProfAtuahene. Atuahene tells a riveting tale about racist policies, how they take root, why they flourish and who profits: https://t.co/peSyvVtBWI.

[Kassandra @KassandraTuten]

Such a fascinating interview I conduced with the new James E. Jones Jr. Chair at @WisconsinLaw. Check it out.

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

We were thrilled to welcome new faces to the Law School this fall, including Prof. Ahmed White, James E. Jones Jr. Chair. White’s research is in labor and employment relations, with an emphasis in history: https://t.co/DQ15ET05l9.

Check out this article I wrote about how UW Law is ahead of the curve in supporting student #wellness.

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

Law Student Mental Health Day was last week, but here at UW Law, promoting wellness is an ongoing commitment. Learn how UW Law is "ahead of the curve" in supporting student wellness in our recent edition of the Gargoyle: https://t.co/lbgD1kMden.

[Kassandra @KassandraTuten]

Check out this article I wrote for the recent edition of the Gargoyle magazine.

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

A big welcome (back) to Amanda White Eagle '05, Christopher Lau and Lisa Washington '22, who all returned to UW Law this fall. Learn more about their paths to (and back to) Wisconsin Law in our recent Gargoyle magazine feature: https://t.co/cSrGCCdYxt. #OnWisconsin #UWLaw

[Kassandra @KassandraTuten]

Thank you for letting me tell your story, @AtapattuSumudu!

[Sumudu Atapattu @AtapattuSumudu]

Excited to see the article about my book in the latest issue of Gargoyle, the alumni magazine @WisconsinLaw

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

Thank you to Professor Shannon Speed for an incredible discussion of "Rethinking Violence Against Indigenous Women Through a Lens of Human Rights" for the 2023 Mildred Fish-Harnack Human Rights and Democracy Lecture. And thanks to everyone who attended in person or virtually.

Another piece I wrote. Check it out if you’re interested!

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

As a con law teacher, David Schwartz found history was crucial to understanding the structure and essential nature of the Constitution. So, in Fall 2022, he established JACH, a peer-reviewed, web-based journal publishing high-quality scholarship: https://t.co/CJFZCMHhge.

[Kassandra @KassandraTuten]

Check out this piece I wrote for the Gargoyle magazine featuring @JoshuaBraver1 and his recent book, "We, the Mediated People."

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

Rules are sometimes meant to be broken. And for Joshua Braver, who grew up a bit of a rebel, it makes sense that he’d wrestle with that idea in his first book. In “We, the Mediated People,” Braver examines the perils and promises of illegal constitution-making by the people.

[Kassandra @KassandraTuten]

Another story I wrote on the father of modern American legal history. Check it out!

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

James Willard Hurst is known as the “father of modern American legal history.” A recently recovered manuscript captures Hurst, who joined the UW Law faculty in 1937 and was active for 44 years, at one of the earliest stages in his career. Read the story: https://t.co/MT0gUajJKE.

[Kassandra @KassandraTuten]

“It’s safe to say OMB is the most important place that (a) nobody has ever heard of and (b) everyone thinks sounds very boring.” Check out my interview with Anuj Desai on his work in the Executive Office of the President below.

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

Few understand the inner workings of the federal government, and even fewer could tell you what goes on inside the Executive Office of the President. But Anuj Desai, Volkman-Bascom professor of law, can. Check it out: https://t.co/aO3xghPzxy.

[Kassandra @KassandraTuten]

The Native Nations Externship Program puts students in the position to address legal issues that most schools are silent on. Check out the piece I wrote about this new program at the link below.

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

UW Law has a rich history of building community in tribal law. Through the Native Nations Externship Program, established in Fall 2022, the Law School continues to be a trailblazer in tribal law and leadership. Learn more: https://t.co/mt5w9oL2zY. #OnWisconsin #UWLaw

[Kassandra @KassandraTuten]

Super proud of this piece and this edition as a whole. Check out our spring Gargoyle magazine cover story about political activism at the Law School during the Vietnam War-era.

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

Last fall, we hosted a 50-year reunion celebration, where we heard fascinating stories of political unrest at that time. For our spring Gargoyle magazine, we spoke with alumni and faculty about their Law School memories during the Vietnam War era: https://t.co/URbO9hd4LA.

[Kassandra @KassandraTuten]

Check out this piece I wrote for @WisconsinLaw's spring Gargoyle magazine.

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

For our Spring 2023 edition of the Gargoyle, we spoke with Geraldine Hines ’71 about her Jim Crow-era experiences and resulting political activism in Law School.

“I wanted change to be made, and I wanted things to be better for people.”

Grasslands are disappearing even faster than forests—but we need them just as much. @1juliarosen makes the case for caring about grass: https://t.co/E9obozbpnN

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, check out "The History of Wisconsin's Black Lawyers." From @WAALawyers, the book tells the histories of 11 pioneering Black Wisconsin lawyers, helping keep these histories alive.

Such a good article. I'm currently reading the selected writings of Lloyd Barbee, compiled by his daughter. I highly suggest you check this @WisconsinLaw piece out.

[University of Wisconsin Law School @WisconsinLaw]

Don't miss this really wonderful look into Lloyd Barbee's work fighting housing discrimination in Madison, written by @madisonjps for the latest edition of Gargoyle.
