Speaking on American Nations, Chicago, Illinois, Oct. 25 (Private)
October 25, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
I’ll be speaking about U.S. regionalism and American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures in North America at the National Society of Colonial Dames in the State of Illinois’ annual meeting in Chicago on October 25. It’s a members-only event, but if you’re in Chicago and wanting to connect, give me a shout. (Strangely enough, though I’ve been all over the Midwest in recent years, I haven’t been back to the Windy City since I finished graduate school at the University of Chicago back in 1995, so looking forward to the opportunity.)
