COVIDCalls

Today I welcome historian James McWilliams to talk about American culture in the pandemic.

James McWilliams, is currently writing a biography of the southern poet Frank Stanford. He's written about a wide range of interests, including the American South, food and agriculture, animal ethics, memory, and the poetics of place. His work has appeared in literary venues ranging from Runner's World to The Paris Review, including The Virginia Quarterly Review, The New Yorker, and Harper's. He lives in Austin, Texas but spends as much time as he can in New Orleans. He has taught history at Texas State University since the last century. His face has appeared in People Magazine.
