Everything in this photo is half true. I was indeed starting my course for the International Summer School at Renmin University of China but not in person - though the teeshirt's real, received the last time I was able to teach on site, in 2019! I was in New York but not in my office. That's a virtual background, though of my actual office a few months ago. (It's not what you would see were I speaking to you from there unless I were standing in the door.) The spots on my arm are the light of the setting sun through the venetian blinds at home. It was morning, but only in Beijing. "Anthropocene Humanities," here we go!
