And it's Foucauldian???

And she has four advanced degrees, including a Justice Studies PhD she completed while serving in the House??

Wild that a Foucauldian and this dude are the swing votes in the upper chamber

We need new lobbying and messaging with her, like, "adding a $15 minimum wage through reconciliation would be the true way we can attack the workings of institutions that appear to be both neutral and independent and thereby unmask the political violence they inflict"

The Rwanda book was written AFTER the book explaining why she left the Green Party. This is a lot to take in

There's a lot of Oxford Handbooks that are gonna need updating after this

Someone ASU PhD student better write this up as a Foucauldian study:

"Manchin and Civilization: A History of Comity in the Age of Reason:

And it's spelled Kyrsten, not Krysten. End of corrections.

Also, note she was in the House 2013-19, and the book came out in 2015.

Here's Sinema on the House floor on 4/29/2014 talking about her research.

Here's her with Bono on a trip to Rwanda in 2015 - the year the book came out

Getting PhDs: Hard for everybody
"Sinema, an attorney who is also completing a doctoral dissertation about the Rwandan genocide, said that while her views have evolved, her approach to dealing with global quagmires remains consistent."

Her book has got to be in the top 3 or 5 books written by the current crop of senators. Ed Markey's 1982 book on Nuclear Peril and Warnock's 2014 book (The Divided Mind of the Black Church: Theology, Piety, and Public Witness) also look good
