We are small group of academics who live and work in the Avon Hillsโa tract of hills, woods, lakes, marshes, and oak savanna in central Minnesota, roughly contiguous with Keillorโs fictional Lake Wobegon --sharing an interest in writing and public life.
I'm a geographer who lives half the time in the US (where I teach) and the rest of the time in Lyon with my French husband. I write about food, travel, and cultural differences. Please see the about page for more: https://jeanlavigne.substack.com/about
