Basic but (pretty much always) successful teaching activity:

@UrsinusHistory students collectively created a timeline & explained the moments they plotted, while I ensured connections were clear.

Today we did colonialism, racial capitalism, and segregation in southern Africa.

What he enjoys about Ursinus History: "History in college has been such an amazing experience. What I like most about being a history major is the feeling of learning a new perspective and challenging the perspectives that we have previously been taught through grade school."

Out of classroom opportunity with the major: "I’ve been given the wonderful opportunity to intern in the digital archives at Myrin Library. I get to do what I love, read (and also cringe) at authentic historical writings, but also share my passion with others through my work".

Major Monday is back and today we are celebrating Bri Lambright '24! Bri is also majoring in anthropology with a minor in art history. @UrsinusCollege #History #Ursinus #MajorMonday

What Bri likes most about being a major: "All the wonderful opportunities I get when it comes to studying the world and forming connections with people long passed. I’ve always loved history so becoming a major seemed like the next logical step in my obsession with the field".

Professor of @UrsinusHistory & @mcneilcenter scholar C. Dallett Hemphill had nearly completed her 3rd book, Philadelphia Stories, before her death in 2015. Then a community of colleagues—some former students—came together to get her final pages published. https://t.co/hmQuZrUGKU
