Fascinating post, Jenna. This reminds me of the impact of the Clean Air Acts of 1956 and 1968 in the UK, which certainly cleaned up London.

I once read writer the novel “Wolf Totem" by Jiang Rong set in Inner Mongolia. It was good in Jack London kind of way.

Great post! I wish the under-educated, disruptive, extremist congresswoman who represents my district (Lauren Boebert) could read and do some of your students’ lessons and gain more appreciation for the institution and its history.

Also, that’s great you ran in Mongolia. I’ve read about the Mongol Derby multi-day horse endurance race but wasn’t aware of any running races.
