@caycarbs Right there with you. It will happen!!

@school_tales As an undergraduate I remember really loving Timothy Tackett’s When the King Took Flight in my history of the French Revolution class. It was very accessible and well written.

@sohini_6 @Rituparna37 Thanks for this suggestion! I definitely want to incorporate methods works from outside my own field, my students will have a broad range of thematic, chronological, and sub-field interests.

[Dr. Deirdre Lyons @deirdretlyons]

#Twitterstorians I’m teaching a graduate Historical Methods course in the fall for MA students writing theses. I’m designing the class along the themes of archival problems: erasure, marginalization, silence, etc. What are some favorite recent works you’d recommend we read?

@LauraAdderley @TulaneHistory As a social historian, “great social history” are magic words for me. Thank you! I can’t wait to read it.

@CTCJournal Looks so interesting. Thank you!

[Dr. Deirdre Lyons @deirdretlyons]

@batb0ld Definitely is on the syllabus. I want students to think about sources and materiality as much as archives. Thank you!
