@profevanbennett @HoneckMischa The New Yorker had a great write up on Giddens that works well in UG classes: John Jeremiah Sullivan, “Rhiannon Giddens and What Folk Music Means,” The New Yorker, May 13, 2019.
@rachelshelden @HoneckMischa If you need a reading to pair with elections songs from the 1840s, the following is brief and lucid: Gavin James Campbell, “’He Put His Thumb Up to Nose, and Twirl’d His Fingers at His Foes’: Presidential Campaign Songs in 1844,” Southern Cultures 4:1 (Spring 1998), 139-148.
I took some time off of my main duties to write some reflections on George Packer's Atlantic piece on euphemisms, which some historian friends might be interested in. https://t.co/NST2DzABRN
Hi History and #twitterstorian friends. If you are planning a #Mastodon switch and looking for a server, H-Net has created a server: https://t.co/qkiX90tlqf
We have a CfP for the _Cultural Encounters during the Civil War Era_ published by @HCivwar and @HNet_Humanities. This collection involves innovative peer-review and will be freely available on the H-Net platform as essays become available. Check out the CfP #twitterstorians
I'm one of three editors on an innovative peer-reviewed project on cultural encounters within and beyond the US during the Civil War era (c. 1830-1890). I'm hoping some @IEHS1965 folks submit work. Please read and share the CFP: https://t.co/ZBnpcU46Do. #civilwar#immigrationhist
I'm excited to be working with @davidmprior78 and @niels_eichhorn on this innovative project. I especially like the plans for integrating scholarly exchange (as well as peer review) into the publication process.
@HNet_Humanities has nearly reached its $30k fall fundraising goal! Thanks to everyone who has given so far, and to everyone who is still thinking about it. We're almost there!! https://t.co/lLJkgQpB7Q
