Working on this reported essay, just published, increasingly took over my life for the last two months. PEN America did a terrible disservice with its sloppy reporting about American Jews and Israelis in publishing in July. Josh Lambert and I tried to do better. jewishcurrents.org/what-pen-ame...

This essay by Joseph Darda is a must-read: "[C]ollege sports can feel remote from the work of teaching and research and from other campus labor struggles. But college sports have been a laboratory for the management of academic labor...We are all student-athletes now."
