I will be hosting a salon on the excellent Interintellect platform on Thursday, March 26, 2026 @ 03:00 PM CDT.

Join me for a salon-style conversation pairing Charles Dickens’s Bleak House with John Broich’s London: Water and the Making of the Modern City. Together we’ll explore how Victorian London confronted environmental crisis, institutional gridlock, and the slow work of reform—through story and through history. Expect close reading, thoughtful exchange, and a focus on how competing factions ultimately produced public results.
This is a guided discussion, not a lecture. Curiosity welcome; prior expertise not required.
