FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS PAPERS, PUBLICATIONS AND ACTIVITIES:
Tony Gill presented his recently published article "The Comparative Endurance and Efficiency of Religion" at the United Kingdom's Political Science Association's Annual Conference in Belfast, Ireland. However, Tony didn't travel to Ireland. He did it from just outside of Duvall, WA. And there was also an online pub trivia session that Tony really sucked at because it was all about short British Prime Ministers and BBC television shows. (Who watches that stuff?!) To warm himself to the British audience, the presentation used some Led Zeppelin as its bumper intro.
Jack Turner was recently interviewed on Black Agenda Radio about his April 2021 Political Theory article, "Audre Lorde's Anti-Imperial Consciousness": https://www.blackagendareport.com/audre-lordes-revolutionary-contribution-black-political-thought
