Barbara, an artist/researcher/educator and my life-partner has just posted an interesting piece, and expresses her concern of "fear of diversity" that is growing in America and with it and Trumpism a climate of anti-intellectualism like I have not experienced before where I am living. Here is her letter and post link.
Dear all,
I hope this finds you well. I am sharing new blog I have written in response to a fake news story that aired on an American national TV news channel last week regarding an art installation that I installed with students at Southern Illinois University entitled Dreaming Diversity. If you are want to know the back story go to my blog at

We are in a time of much fear of diversity in America-- and democratic education through the arts is more than ever being called for. -BB
