I’ll be giving a talk entitled “American Nations: How to Unite the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of the United States” at Ohio University in Athens on February 11 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. It’s fueled by the three books of the American Nations “trilogy” — American Nations, American Character, and Union.
The talk is co-sponsored by the university’s geography department and the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and is free and open to the public. It’s at the Walter Hall Rotunda and more details can be found here.
