What a treat it is for Rebellion Dogs to be in conversation again with author, historian, and super-wise and enthusiastic speaker, Dr. Trysh Travis. Wild guess: you're going to love this...

"How I got from The Language of the Heart: the Recovery Movement from AA to Oprah (2009) to Feminists of Drugs: A History," Trysh Travis, PhD, talks about how her first book led to her latest work. None of us could believe it was a year ago that we were all together at ICSAA 2024 (the International Conference of Secular AA in Orlando), where Dr. Travis spoke to us about AA in the Age of Polarization.

As a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study (Harvard), Trysh continues her work with time and resources to focus on her research within a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment. Trysh Travis focuses on 20th-century U.S. cultural and literary history, with a particular emphasis on gender and popular culture. Sub-specialties include the history of medicine, therapy, addiction, recovery, self-help, and the history of print culture, the evolution of book publishing/promotion and the role of reading in the lives of everyday people.

Dig in now for an hour or so - damn it goes by fast; we will have Trysh back and in the meantime, some of what was cut on the editor's floor for this epic discourse will find its way into a new episode about the impact of AA on the Plain Language Big Book.
