Tracing Relational Care Across Borders
2025
In this paper, we enrich feminist theorizing on care by tracing more-than-human relationalities that are grounded in place but also stretch across México, the United States, and Canada. In three brief vignettes, we outline how geopolitical conditions of im/mobility intersect with specific material, semiotic, and affective relations of care involving Sonoran Desert soils, berries, toxins, and human bodies. In line with Indigenous theorizing on the myriad ways borders have colonized our political imaginaries, we suggest that more-than-human care is relational, not territorial—not contained by borders. Resumen En este artículo, enriquecemos la teoría feminista sobre el cuidado al rastrear relaciones más-que-humanas que están arraigadas al lugar pero que también se extienden a lo largo de México, los Estados Unidos de América y Canadá. En tres breves viñetas, describimos cómo las condiciones geopolíticas de in/movilidad se entrelazan con diferentes aspectos del cuidado, desde sus relaciones materiales, semióticas y afectivas hasta las más específicas que involucran los suelos del desierto de sonora, frutos rojos, toxinas y humanos en movimiento. En línea con la teoría indígena sobre las formas en que las fronteras han colonizado nuestros imaginarios políticos, sugerimos que el cuidado más-que-humano es relacional, no territorial. No está contenido por fronteras.

INTERVIEW WITH DR. MONICA NEVINS
2020
An interview with Monica Nevins, a Professor (Department of Mathematics and Statistics) and Vice-Dean (Governance and International Relations, Faculty of Science) at the University of Ottawa, about her career and experiences in teaching in high school and university is presented. She said honestly, everything that she can remember from her K to 12 schooling is probably about math. She remembers a time in Grade 6 where there were two bonus questions--one was easy and one was heard. She messed up the easy one, but she got the hard one, and it was this funny mix of chagrin and feeling great. She added that when she started university, she thought math, computer science, and physics were all in the right range.

Monsignor John Joseph N: Academic, war Chaplain, Parish priest
2018
In 1924, after a hiatus of a decade, the Australasian Catholic Record was re-established under the driving force of Monsignor John Joseph Nevin, the then vice-president of St Patrick's College, Manly. Mgr Nevin was ACR's principal editor up until 1937 and with the exception of a trip to Ireland and Europe in 1927, he contributed articles and answered questions on topics ranging across canon law, marriage, and moral theology in virtually every quarterly issue of ACR for more than two decades. At Manly, he educated thousands of seminarians for dioceses across New South Wales and beyond, and was the college's president from 1929 to 1942. As such, Mgr Nevin was probably the most formidable Catholic clerical academic in New South Wales in the interwar period, yet we know little of this prodigious writer and intellectual who was a key adviser, not just to the Sydney hierarchy, but to a wide range of bishops. Apart from Dr Kevin Walsh's splendid history of St Patrick's College, Manly, church historians have not sought to consider the significant career of Mgr Nevin and his influence on several generations of clergy and bishops.

CHRISTIAN REALISM, HUMAN VULNERABILITY, AND THE U.S. IMMIGRATION CRISIS
2021
Ahn argues that the church's \"moral education\" cannot be entirely separated from an ecclesial-missional call to engage in the politics of migration to transform the state's skewed immigration policies. In order for Christian realism to remain relevant to the twenty-first century, it must be renewed by critically engaging feminist theological views, such as human \"vulnerability.\"

Immersed in Great Affairs
2004
Immersed in Great Affairs is the first book-length biography of noted historian and journalist Allan Nevins. In a career that spanned nearly three-quarters of the twentieth century, Nevins won two Pulitzer Prizes, helped draft John F. Kennedy’s acceptance speech at the 1960 Democratic National Convention, composed the monumental eight-volume history of the American Civil War, Ordeal of the Union, and associated with, among others, Adlai Stevenson, Walter Lippmann, Arthur Schlesinger Sr., Charles Scribner, Abraham Flexner, and John D. Rockefeller Jr. This book traces his beginnings as a journalist in the early 1900s with the New York Evening Post and the New York World through his years as a contributor to the New York Times Magazine. Nevins not only influenced thoughtful, general readers through his articles, editorials, and reviews, but also made a lasting impression on the writing of American history and nurtured a whole generation of young scholars as DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University. A narrative historian in an age of growing reliance on social science concepts and theories, Nevins remained committed to telling a story and to using history to teach moral lessons.
On Allan Nevins, Grand Style in Discourse, and John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address: The Trajectory of Stylistic Confluence
2012
Allan Nevins was a prolific historian lauded for grand style in discourse. After John Kennedy was certified winner of the 1960 presidential election, Ted Sorensen—now widely known as Kennedy's prominent speechwriter—asked Nevins to draft a version of what became a notable Inaugural Address. Nevins complied and returned his draft three days later, but it disappeared. Nevertheless, confluence of style between Nevins and Kennedy is posited herein by comparing Kennedy's correspondence as a child, college student, Navy officer, and early diarist with stylistic imperatives of Nevins revealed in his correspondence to other historians and successive, longhand emendations to sentences for The Ordeal of the Union. Despite disappearance of the historian's draft, those materials suggest his significant contributions to Kennedy's Inaugural eloquence and his 1960 Acceptance Address. Recent trends in English language usage suggest that teaching stylistic prowess revealed in the Nevins-Kennedy confluence is timely now for higher education.

(A companion volume on the representational role of sleep in Early Modern Europe awaits completion.) Michael Pretina, then-Director of the Camargo, deserves a special acknowledgment for his mentoring of my project and for his able management. At South Carolina State University, three successive Chairs - Don Powell, Calvin Hutson, and Ghussan Greene - assisted with lightening my teaching load at key points. In addition to the lectures already mentioned, portions of this book were presented as conference papers at the annual meetings of the American Comparative Literature Association (acla), the Modern Language Association (mla), and samla.
