@ThePhDPlace Because it shows that women have been writing and publishing about their roles in war for centuries but because they were excluded from academia, they were ignored. IOW, their stories are *everywhere* if we know where to look and what to look for.

OTD, 1917, Wilbert B Hinsdale published (via The University of Ann Arbor Press) "Special Bulletin on Women and War" which discussed the urgent need for women to join the war effort. You can read a copy here for free! https://t.co/bMWpuggC8v

As usual...🙄

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

We don’t need to notify you about college rule changes; you’ll find out when you break them!

Actress Alla Nazimova was born OTD, 1879. She became famous for starring in War Brides (1915) during the WWI Era.

“The students who cannot read a 20-page article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill, or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow.”

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

We don’t need a dean who understands how higher education works, whatever he doesn’t understand I explain to him.

Labeled "unpopular" but tbh, this is spot on and should be popular opinion.

[Jessica Hooten Wilson @HootenWilson]

Unpopular opinion on GE education: you need a cohesive interdisciplinary core taught towards virtue and wisdom formation. Without those features, it’s choose your own adventure and just checking boxes.

@jenteach13 Somewhere in a public classroom as student who could not read/spell declared he was a history major. Twenty years old. The issue just keeps getting passed up the chain.

OTD, 1930, The Chatanooga Times publishes a paper by Zella Armstrong examining the work of Confederate women in Chatanooga during the US Civil War.

Guaranteeyou my school is much less prestigious and I say the same thing along with "Have a Plan B."

[Orel Beilinson @BeilinsonOrel]

When I got to Yale, the late John Merriman told me that "you would never have a job as good as I have. Even if you got a job here, it's a different world." I work at a much less prestigious university and find myself telling my Ph.D. students exactly that—and I am sad for them.

OTD, 1864, the Battle of Cold Harbor begins in the US Civil War. Clara Barton was one of the many women who nurses soldiers from both sides of the conflict.

[Prof Marewa Glover @MarewaGlover]

If you are a University lecturer and supervisor of Master’s students, by all means encourage students to learn how to write scientific journal articles but please stop encouraging them to submit such exercises to actual journals because you think it would be a good learning exercise for them. 🛑 ✋🏽 Many/most editors and reviewers provide their time voluntarily as part of their sense of duty to science. It is the job of the paid University supervisor to check the students’ work.
What puzzles me is why a senior University academic would allow their name to be on some of the many manuscript submissions I have reviewed. Did they even read it? Every author must sign that they have read and approved of the final manuscript, so what’s going on?

[Allison @arm_hist]

@JackieSeidel1 That's fantastic. It just goes to show some students take for granted the opportunities they have to engage in literature while some make time for it regardless. (Assuming she is not a college student working a PT job). I do love overhearing things like this, too.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

such a bizarre notion. in the past, all one would have had to do is hang out at the public library also, skimming through the volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica. all you'd have needed was a library card, why go to Harvard? why bother with MIT when you could just peruse books by yourself? imagine going to Oxford instead of continuing to sleep in your childhood bedroom & remain in a child-like capacity for these formative years of life.... weird that anyone paid tuition for the opportunity & felt such passion for the adventure.
