Hello, I’m back. My production of these “weekly” emails fell off when my two-month work sabbatical began six months ago.

WOLA Podcast: Understanding Colombia’s Latest Wave of Social Protest I recorded a very good conversation with my colleague Gimena Sánchez, who I don’t think has slept since Colombia’s protests—and the government’s crackdown—began on April 28. She does a masterful job explaining what’s going

Greetings and thanks for reading. This week's edition is long, and no fun at all. I even ran out of time to put in funny tweets. Unless you share my mania about what's happening in Colombia or at the U.S-Mexico border, reading this update may

Weekly adamisacson.com - Issue #59

When I was in college in the early nineties, El Salvador was showing Latin America that a bitter civil war could end in negotiations, and that a country with a long history of dictatorship could start opening up and transitioning to democracy. Twenty-five years later, in the mid-2010s, Colombia held

So this is it. This is the week where most of us hit our "one year of social distancing" anniversaries. Mine is pretty vivid. On the morning of Wednesday, March 11 (my half-birthday, I turned 49½), I took a crowded Metro (subway) car to Capitol Hill, mushed against

Weekly adamisacson.com - Issue #34

There were a lot of meetings, talks, and events last week, all of them on my computer screen, leaving me bleary-eyed by Friday. At least when you're writing onscreen, you can look away every few moments. Zoom takes a toll. That's not news to anybody, but

I hope all is well with you. Here in Washington, the mayor extended our stay-at-home order through June 8, and WOLA's offices will be empty through at least July 4. Initially, I'd figured we'd be back to semi-normal by Memorial Day (May 25th). Since
