Connect to links we love, programs we admire, events to look forward to, folks to follow and great work in the public humanities.

We’re highlighting our favorite finds of the week.

Leah, director of programs and community engagement:

Who’s up for a trip to Milwaukee to meet the ghost of a proto-feminist world traveler who rejects conventional thinking about American identity? Her name is Mrs. M— and she’s haunting the new installation at the Milwaukee Art Museum called “Mrs. M—’s Cabinet.” Love it when museums get extra wacky.

The club de literatura has read diverse books including Don Quixote, Walter Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs and novels by Julia Alvarez.

Jacqueline Cromleigh, communications manager and program associate:
