In March 2025, I have a new essay due out, “The Insurrection Beard.” It’ll be included in Rural Education and Queer Identities: Rural and (Out)Rooted, edited by Clint Whitten and Amy Price Azano and published by Routledge in its Rural Education and Social Justice series. It’s interesting to discover what assumptions some folks make about me now that my salt-and-pepper beard is down to my belly. No, I do not share the politics of the January 6th insurrectionists! Just the opposite, in fact.
