When I finished my book Dark Money and the Politics of School Privatization in 2021, I figured I had a pretty good handle on the billionaire funded attacks on public education. But then I learned much more about their efforts and the importance of unions while helping to defend a UMass Boston colleague from a right-wing attack.

Dear Colleagues,

As the global tragedies unfold around us, the deluge of information from all channels can feel overwhelming. Your colleagues in Healey Library want to remind you of the available resources that can help you make some sense of current events and the historical context that led us to this point.*
