For those who will be attending the SHA annual meeting this week I’d love to invite you to our panel The Role of Women in Civil War Memory on Friday at 10:45. We’ve some great papers from @emmaedonaghy Jeffrey Thomas Perry, and myself. Hope to see you there!
Had a truly fantastic interaction with some students today. Seeing their passions and what drives them is such an enriching experience. I love being able to help expand their knowledge and perception of the world. It’s really powerful stuff!
@HerbertHistory Frankenstein/Bride of Frankenstein. Two excellent movies whose impact has been felt in numerous films since. I could talk about them for hours. Also, I’d love to suggest The Fly (1986) exploring it in the context of the AIDS epidemic could be an enlightening conversation.
I was recently published a book review of Matthew Christopher Hulbert’s, Oracle of Lost Causes: John Newman Edwards and his Never-Ending Civil War, in the Journal of the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era. It’s a great book!

I recorded a podcast episode for The American History Gazette. It covers a lot of questions about the Confederacy, and the importance of history as a field of study. Check it out on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts!
