Thanks to Professors Bob Axelrod, Matt Golder, Sona Golder, and Ben Valentino for inspiring the ‘Ethos’ section of this and other syllabi. May everyone be blessed with such clear-eyed and constant mentors.

And thanks to my family and my mom 👉, in particular, for teaching me everything else, including the importance of every human connection. 💛
