Greetings from Erfurt, Germany, where I was lucky to be invited to give a talk this week at the Universität Erfurt. I'm standing in front of a portion of Erich Enge's "Victory of Love over Darkness" (1976) a major Socialist mural from the East German era.

Why does public transit suck in America? Can't just blame cars. In his masterful explanation, @EnglishRail looks at 100 years of history and finds the U.S. has rarely learned a basic lesson: When service is bad, riders will never materialize. https://t.co/wYySe2tx8U

I recant my 2013 view that there's no humanities crisis in the US. The last five years of degree data have been brutal, and all humanists need to worry about how to deal with the attendant changes to our disciplines.
