Last year Matt Emberg developed a board game about the conquest of Tenochtitlan with @bgsuCURS funding. Today we got to play the finalized version. Impressive design and research behind it. #ILoveHistory

@BGSU_History We look like hobbits!

Check also the other essays in the spring issue. I haven't read all of them yet; however, some are very good, such as the one from @aechallu and John Coatsworth and the one from @MGF91! 👇https://t.co/ePUtf9umu9

@BGSU_History I’m so sorry I missed it!

[Amilcar Challu @aechallu]

So happy to share the byline with John Coatsworth. #econhist #latinamerica https://t.co/mEM7cy9TDm

A fantastic experience for our history majors to meet @WoodardColin . “Desperately we need people who can bring everything together. That’s the historian.” Thanks @bgsu for this opportunity!

Amazing public lecture by Modupe Labode, ⁦@smithsonian⁩ National Museum of American History. Discussed the design and creation process behind Emmett Till’s exhibit

@mattyglesias I share the sentiment but Milei cannot be further away than 1980s Argentina. Late seventies, sure. Overall, Argentina’s debacle owed to more than just monetarism-cum-fascism ideology.

@jordanclaridge @LSEnews @STICERD_LSE @TheHuntington @EEH_editors This look amazing. I look forward to reading this path breaking study.

[Amilcar Challu @aechallu]

Terrific Hess lecture wrapping up with Francis Gavin (@JohnsHopkins). I particularly like Gavin’s point that history’s use is less about lessons, more about understanding complexity. Historical thinking through problems, not the past per-se, is the true power of history.

Thursday 10/10 at 4pm EST I'll be on Falcon Radio to listen to Argentine music from the 1970s, 1980s and beyond. Host Tate Baughman will throw stuff and me and I react with historical commentary. If you want to tune in, it's on https://t.co/EIejRrhfqt

Panel 4 of https://t.co/EjniWTC0FB is about North American 19th-century History by Gabriel Rodriguez, @BGSU_History MA student, and Charles Beatty-Medina (Prof of Hist @UToledo). The connectivity of the North American experience never stops to surprise me.

@mattyglesias The years following the 1890 McKinley Tariff were a roller coaster in terms of Econ growth…

Se me fue mi alma pater académico. Roberto Cortés Conde fue el fundador de la Historia Económica Argentina moderna. Bajo su dirección, escribí mi primer artículo académico publicado. Roberto, te agradezco todo.

[Emilio Ocampo 🇦🇷🇺🇦 @ocampo_emilio]

Gran tristeza por la muerte de Roberto Cortés Conde, gran historiador y economista. Sus investigaciones iluminaron aspectos claves de nuestra historia económica.

Fue un lujo tenerlo como maestro y amigo.

QEPD. Acá dejo la entrevista que le hizo JC de Pablo en 2007

@alannahg111 Single-handed hearts? Wow. I’m stuck in the Middle Ages.
