Excited to share @UNC_Press's new Fall/Winter 2025 catalog, which is full of excellent, conversation-shaping reads across music, history, politics, culture, and more. A few highlights 🧵

I had a wonderful time with Jason doing this podcast last night. Much thanks to him for the invite and opportunity.

I will be in Toronto to talk about college football and racial capitalist sport with @MorganPCampbell, @DanielSailofsky, and @Derekcrim on September 18 at 6pm at Hart House. Very much hope to see y’all there. harthouse.ca/events/violenc…

"The testimony the authors collected... should be enough to call for a national inquiry into the sport’s violently destructive nature, though it is highly unlikely that any such inquiry will be launched." Excellent new review of our @UNC_Press book. mid-theory.com/2025/05/14/wha…
