UD begins her fall semester teaching this morning. This afternoon, she has tea with Jihene, a Tunisian scholar whose research stay at George Washington University UD sponsored. This evening, UD leafs through her old copy of Allan Bloom’s Closing of the American Mind. She has been asked to talk about the book at a Harvard event next month marking its twenty-fifth anniversary.
A full day. But somehow UD will find time to blog.

will your Bloom talk be recorded?

I think probably it will. I’ll link to the recording on the blog if the event is recorded.

Rita: Cool! Looking forward to seeing you.

By coincidence, I’m rereading that book for the first time in 20 years now. Wish I could catch your talk, but I’m on the wrong coast. I second the hope that they record it; please tell us if they do.

Thanks, Jonathan. Will do.
