Happy to share my review of Sharnak’s Of Light and Struggle, a human rights history that is deeply relevant to current struggles for justice and accountability in Latin America

165 #UT faculty just issued new letter about university's reaction to the pro-Palestinian protests on campus this week.

They say the campus was disrupted — by police.

First signature from David Adelman, Harry Reasoner Regents Chair in Law at UT Law.

Happy to share some reflections on dissertation research with @NotEvenPast. “Experiences like those of Luz and Enrique are a powerful reminder of the everyday courage and resilience that quietly shaped Argentina’s path toward democracy.”

Proud to share my recent article in @TIME about Guatemala's upcoming inauguration of President Bernardo Arévalo this Sunday, and its deep, historical significance for the country.

Drawing on archival work at @DukeLibraries, we contrast Rabbi Meyer's advocacy with others' inaction during Argentina's 1976 dictatorship. Quantitative analysis expands the case study's findings, revealing a link between religious autonomy and the defense of human rights.

[Gabrielle Esparza @GabriEsparza]

Excited to share a new publication, co-authored with @pearceaedwards at @jssrjournal:

"Identity, Incentives, and Religious Defense of Human Rights: Marshall Meyer and the DAIA in Argentina’s Dirty War"

“[President] Carter believed that the nation’s foreign policy should reflect its highest moral values. This meant he refused to ignore human rights abuses even when committed by U. S. allies—a definite break with the Nixon and Ford Administrations.”

The U. S. doesn't always oppose autocracy abroad. But with help from #POTUS, U. S. diplomats can support #HumanRights. This week, @GabriEsparza and NEP's “Uncharted Waters” series show how Jimmy Carter used diplomacy against Argentina's Cold War dictators. https://t.co/SrbwN9WMSy

When I emailed my committee to schedule comprehensive exams, one of them replied they would be out of pocket until X date. I still laugh about this. Top ten email reply.

[internally disrupted. @yosoycange]

the white people on my team use “out of pocket” to mean unavailable. Once someone said “I will be out of pocket” and I was ready for the pre-planned drama but she was just going to the dentist.

Roe is done, but Latin American activists can provide their U.S. counterparts with lessons borne of struggle. I wrote this piece with @NaraMilanich hoping to build hemispheric solidarity in this difficult time.

As someone who was born & raised in Buffalo, collective mourning & healing has been heavy on my heart. I wrote my @BlkPerspectives essay for my community, so we can begin remedying this harm without the police. For a snippet of Black Buffalo’s history see: https://t.co/7UsjQ2GM9s

Asking me when I'll finish my PhD is an act of violence.

I never talk publicly about my relationship with my mom, but this thread/story/feeling is so familiar. My mom didn’t attend my college graduation or celebrate my Fulbright or PhD acceptance with me. It’s painful but grateful for the family that does show up for me ❤️

To help make sense of the War in Ukraine, graduate students from @UT_HistDept recommended five books by leading scholars, all of whom have analyzed historical events and processes relevant to the war in Ukraine. https://t.co/clPg6KM5bt
