[Over the last few months, I’ve had the chance to talk about my new book in a number of settings, and as always every such talk has led to distinct and interesting follow-up questions and ideas. So this week I’ll reflect on those continuing conversations, leading up to a special July 4th weekend post on the state of patriotism in 2021!]
On a type of
book talk I’m especially excited to add onto the schedule this Fall.
The topics of
this week’s posts—bookstores, libraries, historic and cultural sites, and educational
institutions—are all examples of settings and communities with which I’ll
always be excited to share my ideas and voice (and to hear from in conversation,
of course), and I’d love nominations for others where I could give talks (whether
virtual or in-person) this Summer and Fall. I’d also love ideas for other
podcasts with whom I could chat and websites for whom I could write, along the
lines of those I highlight on
this page and otherwise. I’m also a big fan of chatting with book and
reading groups, adult learning programs, and, well, any and all other
communities and conversations you could think of, so bring it all on, please!
But in this last
post of the week’s series, I wanted to make an appeal for one particular such
community with whom I’d be especially stoked to chat this Fall (and beyond):
classes. Whether undergrad or grad, secondary/high school or even earlier, I’ve
never had a chance to talk with a group of students and not come away feeling
as inspired as it’s possible to feel by such conversations. So if you’re a
teacher (or a student!), or if you know teachers (or students!), I’d really
love to hear from you, whether here or by email (brailton@fitchburgstate.edu), to
see if it might work for me to chat with a class. Thanks in advance, and hope
to see you down the road!
Special weekend
post tomorrow,
Ben
PS. Ideas for
other settings or audiences with whom I could share the book?
