Ladson and I have had an ongoing conversation for over a decade. It started over monthly breakfast meetings on Capitol Hill. COVID eventually interrupted our in person meetings but we were able to continue on FaceTime.
Together we founded the CMFC (ask me about it someday). Ladson's interests are both wide and deep. He calls himself an existentialist/ phenomenologist, but his curiosity and scholarly reading are on the cutting edge of current ideas.
Ladson is a generous friend who is forever sending me interesting articles to widen the scope of my thinking. He has continuously encouraged me to embrace and even celebrate interdisciplinary interests.
I am grateful for his constant enthusiastic prodding of me to go further out on the limb to discover and share my own voice. He's also an excellent essayist himself and I am looking forward to the forthcoming publication of his collected papers.
