Finding familiar faces in Philly! Hope to see some of you at our @Ideas_History roundtable at #AHA23 to talk methodologies of intellectual history tomorrow at 10:30
I am awed and grateful for many things about my friends/colleagues in my material culture class, but I just want to shout out the solid 3 hours of beautiful, point perfect slides. An underrated but crucial factor in presenting and they all brought it
So grateful to be at #USIH2022 to talk about using constitutions to think about gender ideology- great ideas with my fellow panelists about nations, factions, liberty and self governance
listening to a fascinating paper by @MsRussellSays re: historical memory of the US Constitution in the 1827 Cherokee Constitution #USIH2022@UMassHistory
A huge thanks to @manuvimalassery for his lecture (available at https://t.co/fkkTAA9H3R) and for pointing us towards WEB DuBois' The African Roots of War. Excited to see DuBois and this rich text in a lot more classrooms in the Connecticut River Valley
Had amazing conversations today at the 1st Teaching Empire workshop that accompanies the @UMassHistory Feinberg series Confronting Empire about what imperialism means and how to talk about it in K-12
Thank you @UMassAfroAm for letting me share my work. I got so much useful feedback from faculty and grad students + @UMassHistory grad/undergrad students! A great interdisciplinary event. Special thanks to Paul Michael for his org and Ximena for her insightful commentary
I am so excited to be a part of this workshop series! I hope to get some feedback and generate discussion about race and citizenship in Massachusetts in the early republic. Hope to see you there!
So excited for the first Feinberg event. You can still register for this important discussion about the impact of US Imperialism with @Rigoberta Menchu Tum

@UMassHistory@MassHumanities@NEHgov@NatlParkService It was great to hear the many iterations of interpretation at Porter-Phelps-Huntington and the great work my colleagues @knitwhitted @soggypebble are contributing to that effort. And of course the dedication of @MarlaAtLarge and Chris Clark
@Ideas_History If anyone wants to nerd out about commemorations as a way of wrestling with ideas of democracy and communities in crisis - I'd love to take advantage of the end of the semester and the generous extension of the #USIH Call for Papers to put together a panel
Thanks @Ideas_History for giving me some space in #USIH to share some early thoughts about the intellectual and cultural history of the Constitution as I prepare to start my dissertation research. https://t.co/3W5eCfl80p
