Historian friends,cI am teaching an introductory historical methods course for the first time this coming year. I am wondering what books or ideas for the course you could recommend (either for preparation or to assign). I am just trying to brainstorm right now.
Thanks in advance

I have been offered a Tenure Track position as an Assistant Professor of history at Talladega College starting this fall. I have accepted the post and am very grateful for the opportunity. We are moving to Alabama. #twitterstorians

I will stick to esoteric conversations about the complexities of church and state. Thank you to all who helped get me here.

I just successfully defended my dissertation on religious liberty in colonial and revolutionary Pennsylvania. I am now officially Doctor Dodge. But I promise I will not try anything medical.

#twitterstorians, I am teaching Civil War Era for the first time this fall, What are your favorite texts to assign undergrads?

[Samuel Alonzo Dodge @SamuelADodge]

Do any of my fellow #twitterstorians (or anyone else) know of a good scholarly treatment of the use of American Revolution symbols and rhetoric during the January 6th insurrection?

@PhdRachel Also, it was not the tax per say, but the ideology behind it (arbitrary power of Parliament) that was the issue.

I’m a reading a Quaker document from July 1701 where the author condemns those who during meeting “give way to a Heavy Sleepy Spirit” and I am feeling just a little bit called out.

#twitterstorians, the recent @Freakaonimcs 3-part podcast on Adam Smith is excellent. I keep pondering about assigning it to my Western Civ. course but don't want to face student rebellion for assigning over 3 hours of economic history podcasts. Check it.
