It exists! This collection has its origins in a long-ago conference hallway, when the inimitable Dave Kieran and I realized that we wanted to organize a different kind of conversation about remote warfare. We wanted to broaden the scope beyond drones and shift the inquiry beyond the usual intractable debates about the morality and efficacy of violence meted out from a distance. I think we did it.

I’m so grateful to Dave for his spirited co-editorship, and to the contributors for their patience, creativity, and intellectual generosity.

Thanks to WYPR’s On the Record for the recent rebroadcast of my July interview about Coronavirus Lost and Found. The episode is available here.

Today, when collecting my work mail for the first time in months, I found a copy of the most recent issue of American Studies, where I published an article called “The Limits of Recognition: Rethinking Conventional Critiques of Drone Warfare.” Thanks to the editors and the two anonymous readers for their thoughtful engagement with my ideas and all the nudges in the direction of making them better.

Thanks to Melissa Gerr and Sheilah Kast of WYPR’s On the Record for the invitation to talk about Coronavirus Lost and Found (my public archival project) on this morning’s show. The episode is available here.

… available here. Thanks to Jonathan Vincent for giving my work such thoughtful consideration.

… about Coronavirus Lost and Found, the public archive I launched earlier this spring.

It’s available here.

I continue to be astonished by contributions I’ve received, the candor and generosity with which people have shared their pandemic stories of losing and finding. I’m so grateful to the writers who allowed me to share their work again with a broader audience.

I don’t usually use this forum to talk about my students’ work, but it’s been such an eventful week that I couldn’t resist.

Ali Knowles published a *peer-reviewed* paper, “How Donald Trump Tweeted his way into the White House,” in the UMBC Review, a journal of undergraduate research.

And Kenneth-Julius M’Bale presented – virtually, of course – on “Cuckolding Culture in Rap” at this year’s Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD).

I’m really proud of them both.

I just launched a website where anyone can log the things they’ve lost, or found, because of coronavirus.  Please visit and contribute your story.
