What a great experience this was! I’m still not an American historian, but I am more educated about the long civil rights era and full of things to bring back to the classroom. Thanks for everything, Dr. McKinney and team!

Another @Gilder_Lehrman summer session in the books. A thousand thanks to the teachers who took my course. As always, it’s y’all’s passion and inquiry that really fuel our time together. I hope I gave you a few things think about, and a few sources. Holla if you need me. Always.

@thatsagoodline That’s pretty much my map too, except a bit of my dad’s NY-ness came in. I don’t think they had a dot for us though… :)

Looking for good stats re: enrollment over time in "five-year" master's programs (e.g., 4 years of undergrad + 1; graduate with an M.A.).

Higher Ed Twitter, any ideas?

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

@DrMaryClary I’ll make sure you’re on the distribution list. We are just tidying it up for public consumption. Will probably end up as a lib guide thing and maybe a history@work post a well?

#w11 is sharing the resources we have collated about teaching with ‘hard’ material culture, oral history, difficult subjects historical subjects, and importantly preventing burnout while doing all of this. #ncph2023

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

@cawoost Great meeting you too!

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

About to take off from a great #NCPH2023. Thanks for an inspiring, joyful, engaging, fun time everyone! Great to be back with everyone again!

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

@DrMaryClary Thanks! So nice to have some public history time

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

#w11 is starting in Regency V! Come one, come all! #ncph2023

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

Grab some lunch and head to #w11, Facilitating Difficult Conversations in an Age of Political Polarization! We will see you in Regency V with lots of useful resources. Come with questions, please! #ncph2023

#s38 speaking about the many levels of ethics around a virtual museum of hunger with an ‘address’ in Washington DC and that gamifies SNAP benefits. #NCPH2023

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

#s33 working with accessibility consultants and, critically, disabled tech users, gave the digital creators info to create a truly accessible non-linear learning experience that’s equal for everyone. #ncph2023

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

#s33 interesting exercise in listening to video clips with and without audio description. This is accessibility in action. #ncph2023

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

#s33 @fullspectrumnfp creates short history films and accessible interactive educational websites with primary and secondary sources, curriculum materials, and other linked resources created with historical partners. So interesting! #ncph2023

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

#s33 starting strong with handouts on accessibility resources to go along with their discussion on approaches to digital history projects. #NCPH2023

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

@pubhisint conference attendees talking about the power of connecting with other public historians and visiting historical sites at conferences. Especially when the field not developed in their countries. Conferences not just about papers! #NCPH2023

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

The open meeting for @pubhisint is about to start-sure to be worth delaying lunch for! This organization hadn’t even been started when I first became an international public historian. #ncph2023

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

#s22 three levels of people you need to deal with when doing these hard individual projects: admin, parents, and students. They each need to know they are supported and the teacher is in charge and has created a culture of care. #ncph2023

[Alima Bucciantini @alimab]

#s22 how can university and school partnerships work? Have the money, work on teachers schedules, have realistic expectations, talk with the powerful people instead of making the teachers do it! #ncph2023
