EP #352 - 10.04.2021 - Mass Death as Everyday Life w/Mary Dudziak

Today I talk about mass death as everyday life with legal historian Mary Dudziak.

 Mary Dudziak is the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Law at Emory University. Her most recent book is War Time: An Idea, Its History, Its Consequences (Oxford University Press, 2012). Her current book project argues that the culture of war death in the U.S. helps explain the decline of political restraints on the war powers. During the Covid era she has been obsessing over the way a mass death experience has, essentially, been normalized.
