FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS PAPERS, PUBLICATIONS AND ACTIVITIES:
Tony Gill was a faculty participant at the Acton Institute's "The Fall of the Berlin Wall and Marxism in the Modern Era" held in Boston, MA on Nov. 21-23. No Boston Crème Pie was consumed, but Tony did sneak a peanut butter brownie despite his best efforts to avoid them.
Tony Gill's latest piece on his Mao jacket and the blandness of command economies was translated into Spanish on Facebook by Mario Felix Lleonart Barroso. Tony is not sure if that counts on Google Scholar, but it is the first time he has ever written an article about communist clothing that got translated into a different language on social media. That's gotta count for something good, if not ending the decade in a high note, right?
