Dear SEA community,
Please join me in mourning the tragic loss of Professor Sarah Schuetze, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Sarah’s friendship and her work will be dearly missed. Formal memorial plans have not yet been announced. Speaking personally, I can say only that Sarah was not just my dissertation advisee – she was a light in my life, as I know she was for so many others.
In shock and sorrow,
Marion Rust

Dear Marion and all,
Thank you for conveying this terrible news about our colleague Sarah Schuetze. We grieve with you the loss of a beloved friend and outstanding early Americanist scholar and teacher.
In these times of turmoil and sorrow, let’s remember Sarah’s great spirit; I will always treasure her love for all animals, especially the non-human ones.
