Rachel SwarnsHello, all! I'm a longtime NYT journalist turned NYU academic, and I'm thrilled to be here! I've reported on stories overseas, in DC and around the country. But these days, I examine slavery and its modern-day legacies, focusing on how slavery fueled the growth of contemporary institutions, like Georgetown and the Catholic Church. Next book in 2023! I loved the serendipity of birdland and hope to find some of that here #histodons #journalism #blackjoy #blackmastodon #goodreads #introductions
InfraredEyes@rachelswarns Once you get rolling, I think there's more serendipity here than at the other place. There's no algorithm telling you what to look at, for one thing.
