Welcome to this month’s Peabody newsletter! We’ve been busy welcoming classes this fall, but also want to share some new blogs, including Lainie Schultz’s exploration of the Society of American Indians, Marla Taylor’s view on the Addison Gallery’s exhibition Kay WalkingStick/Hudson River School, and Emma Lavoie’s discussion of the anthology Never Whistle at Night (note—if you have cultural taboos around owls, skip this one). Enjoy!
