Congratulations, DeAnna Toten Beard!
I was so happy to see that DeAnna Toten Beard is becoming the new chair of the theater department at Baylor. She's a remarkable teacher, leader, and person!
Back in the day, she co-taught a criminal practice class with me, where we used a play from 1916 (Trifles, by Susan Glaspell) to introduce some of the core concepts of the class. The whole thing was wonderful, and I learned so much from her... we even wrote an academic article about it, which you can read here. Good job, Baylor!
