@tarpleyhitt ATH, thanks for writing this. I critiqued an argument from a Howland book in my dissertation and had no idea he played for this particular team. Looking forward to attentively listening to a “symphony in honor of lost languages” written over two years by an undergrad.
@mac_lof I'm broadly in agreement with you on this, but I think there are also humbler ways that educating people (particularly in the classroom) is socially beneficial without (only) specifically targeting the most grotesque evils among current events.
