I'm not shy about criticizing my employer—esp. its frequent gulf between aspirations and reality—but I remain grateful for the academic freedom that lets me pursue any research topic I choose, the excellent students who are a joy to teach, ample support resources, and my many amazing colleagues
I've got a two-for-one this week at @cvilleweekly.bsky.social -- a cover story on the state of local tourism, plus the latest installment of our John McGuire series on c-ville.com.

I've been hesitant to celebrate until it was official, and now... it's official! I'm thrilled to receive notification that the University of Virginia Board of Visitors has approved my promotion to Professor of Commerce 🎉
