The invasion of Ukraine is the latest in a series of upheavals that have made eastern Europe a telling point from which to consider the place of area studies in the construction of knowledge about the world.

Debra Marlin began photographing dogs nearly eleven years ago, documenting their romps and rambles along the rustic byways and sum-dappled beaches of Martha's Vineyard, and capturing their ever-endearing spirit in her moving images. In each of her photographs, she conjures up the everyday joys of a dog's life - naps on the porch, frolics in the water, gambols along the lane, runs on the beach - and captures the distinct personalities of Sonny, Lake, Tucker, and Breaker, her four lovely golden boys.
