My mom died on March 19, 2024. I’m slowly making my way through her old things & yesterday found a slew of old conference badges from when she worked in academic publishing in the 80s. She had early onset dementia, so we didn’t talk much about my work. How I wish we could have exchanged stories!
New year, new forthcoming book announcement! Very excited to post more about it soon! Link: www.cambridge.org/us/universit...
