Announcement: A week of UT American Studies in photos

Between Rebecca Solnit's visit and the department's "Practices of Play" symposium, last week was quite a busy one for our department. In case you weren't able to attend either or both of those events, we have a few photos here of all of the proceedings. Enjoy!
