Hello hello! We’ve had another big week here at TSP, and have lots of great things to share with you. To start, we welcomed another blog to our community pages, Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies<\/a>. Check out their\u00a0blog<\/a>\u00a0for an extensive archive of\u00a0engaging commentary and research related to genocide studies. And our amazing\u00a0grad board is back for the semester, which means we are back in full force on the site. We’ve got great new pieces on Trump’s cabinet, women’s movements, environmental policy, and more. So let’s get to it!<\/p>\n
