Connective Tissue:
The Newsletter
Exploring the connections, communities, and commitments that bind us together.
The work of Connective Tissue centers on the question: What will it take to seed and cultivate our generational project of civic and communal renewal? We believe this calls us to write into both the imaginative and practical, dreaming up new civic possibilities while pointing to tangible actions we can all take to realize these possibilities. We believe this calls us to draw on the spiritual and the material, embracing the mystical immeasurability and ineffability of human relationships while grounding our writing in academic substance. And we believe this calls us to avoid taking ourselves too seriously, approaching our work with the healthy dose of humility, goofiness, and self-deprecation it deserves.
