Casey presented on his forthcoming book Cleaning Up the Bomb Factory: Grassroots Activism and Nuclear Waste in the Midwest (University of Washington, 2024) at the Midwestern History Association conference in Grand Rapids, MI. Hosted by the Hauenstein Center at Grand Valley State University, the conference was highlighted by two exciting panels on Midwestern environmental history and an inspiring Plenary Address by Dr. Delia Fernández-Jones from Michigan State University titled "Beyond the Monograph: Community Engaged Histories of the Latinx Midwest." Speaking of public history, I also explored the exhibits at the nearby Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum, including these tools pictured below used in the Watergate break-in.
