I have retired from my position as Director of Alternative Education for the Ojai Unified School District. I submitted my letter before the Corona Virus hit, but I think my timing was pretty good!! I am fostering kittens, getting back into dog training/behavior modification (really more for dog owners) going for long walks, reading and […]

Recently became Executive Director of a summer camp for Bay Area kids from low-income communities. Kids, many of whom have never been away from home, spend 3 weeks in beautiful San Gregorio near Half Moon Bay, swimming, camping, hiking, reading, doing adventure math, visiting farms, bonding and being kids. I spend a lot of time […]

This July, Cambridge University Press published my latest book, a history of record keeping in Europe from 1400-1700. Indirectly inspired by the digital revolution, it looks at how changes in making, keeping and using documents helped support the rise of modern societies and politics. Meanwhile, I’m just back from the Canary Islands, where I served […]

I got to hang out with fellow CdeP 1981 members Mariana Schwartz Smith, Marci Dabbs, Dianna Marguleas, Owen Bly and Alex Calhoun while listening to our classmate Glen Gold read from his new book in the same room that has seen the likes of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Paul Krassner, Timothy Leary and Jack Kerouac. Pretty cool. Peter Dunne CdeP 1981

I love living and teaching in Berkeley and feel lucky my kids are in Berkeley schools. When not teaching, reading, or hiking, I spend a lot of time writing postcards to voters; attending political meetings with other middle-aged middle class women; going to marches; and generally rabble-rousing. Our new family pastime (besides protesting) is Family […]

I’m still in Seattle, protesting and resisting all of the nonsense, and continuing to run my labor-of-love non-profit GeekGirlCon. When I get any free time, I spend it […]

I recently self-published my Tarot deck, the Wanderer’s Tarot, and I am currently hosting a Kickstarter to raise the funds for the companion guide book.

Caleb Couturie, who is about to start school at University of Oregon, has his own Fantasy Football column on the Fishduck website that is actually pretty cool and real people read it (though Lexi Kirkwood’s fantasy team recently ravaged Caleb’s). Caleb Couturie CdeP 2014

After forty years of being paid to read, talk, and write about all the things I love, and with the realization that there is much more of life behind me than in front of me, I will be retiring from university teaching at the end of this semester. With one door closing, I am looking […]
