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

[Alison Russell @MsRussellSays]

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

[Rebecca Brenner Graham @TheOtherRBG]

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

[Alison Russell @MsRussellSays]

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!

@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

[Alison Russell @MsRussellSays]

So excited for my first day at @MHS_Research as a short term fellow. This much time in an amazing archive feels like a dream

[Alison Russell @MsRussellSays]

@lindajkillian @TheOtherRBG This seems like the right answer😄

[Alison Russell @MsRussellSays]

@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

[Alison Russell @MsRussellSays]

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

[Alison Russell @MsRussellSays]

Thank you Dr Nash for bringing the incredible Kali Reis to screen her film To Catch a Fair One, such a visceral portrayal of #MMIW @UMassHistory
