@MariusKothor Carney & Rosomoff write about this and I think it’s drawn from Carney’s own book? If I remember correctly the hair link is based on an oral tradition. I don’t think it’s pivotal in the scholarship but I can see why pop/generalist sources would really run with emphasizing it.

@DetroittoAccra @VT_History Exciting, congratulations!

@karagoucher @des_linden Intersection of teenage mental health, athletics, and college app process (recruitment but also the general push to get into best college and have activities help with that rather than be just for the love of it).

After submitting their papers they then held an engaged & nuanced hour-long discussion on the happy slave myth as it subtly appeared in our world history textbook’s section on the Greco Roman world and…today, the kids are alright.

My 9th graders submitted their 1st ever research papers today (argument based on primary & secondary sources cited with Chicago footnotes) along with project reflections + the super thoughtful feedback they gave to a peer’s draft…and THIS is the wind I needed in my teacher sails

Me: Taylor Swift is more mine than yours. I grew up listening to her, even saw her as an opener when I was in high school.

11th grader: She’s THAT old???

@abenadove I love the humor and I imagine more teens found it funny than the few that let on, but this group tends to be more somber. Discussion was good! Our guest left us with fantastic closing thoughts that will frame the rest of our term.

This morning the Asst. Secretary for Global Affairs of HHS, a PA trustee, is joining my African Env History elective. We’ll be discussing @abenadove’s chapter on grains of paradise and the global & gendered dimensions of indigenous innovations. Cool opportunity - Wish us luck!

@PubliusorPerish @JHUPress Congrats!
