Faculty Writing: On Lula’s Third Term, Partition Workshops in Stockholm, and Pokémon
July 26, 2025
In Public Seminar, Nara Roberta Silva discusses Lula da Silva’s third term and the many obstacles to his Keynesian agenda. Meanwhile, Amrita Ghosh, writing in The Wire with Farooq Sulehria, offers reflections from a workshop on Partition, in Stockholm. Then, Joseph Earl Thomas makes sense of video game culture—first in Virginia Quarterly Review, on his encounters with Pokémon and the semiotic flexibility of Pikachu, and again in Gray Wolf Lab, where he considers the real-world concerns that come to mind while playing Palworld with your kid.
