“We need to remove barriers instead of offering tips of how to jump over them” 👏 “We need to cite women” 👏“We need to make sure women get out of the hallway and out on the national stage” 👏 — such an excellent and inspirational morning panel @CSW_AEJMC@AEJHistory#AEJMC22

During this time of hardship in academia, reviewers for academic journals are heroes. They keep the peer-review system alive, and I am grateful for the 90 reviewers for Journalism History. They come from eight countries, and they are the lifeblood of the journal. Thank you!!!
In the oral history project, students conduct #oralhistory interviews with Vietnam veterans. The project was designed to support the @librarycongress Veterans History Project. The prompt provides links & resources for conducting oral history interviews. https://t.co/wNRrhAEyUc
Attending a Taylor & Francis Webinar on how to encourage and recognize reviewers in peer-reviewed journals. I hope to discover some good ideas for Journalism History.
“All 4 of this year’s winners submitted creative, tested teaching ideas that embody the innovation the Broussard Award aims to encourage,” said teaching award committee chair Dr. Ken J. Ward. “I know I’m already looking for ways to implement these great ideas in my own classes.”
