Eliminating American Studies? How long will Texans tolerate this anti-American nonsense?

[CBS Austin @cbsaustin]

UT Austin students are protesting tonight after the university announced late last week it will be consolidating some departments such as African and American studies, Mexican American studies, and a few others into a new department, which could impact their major and degree.

As chair, Bill Goetzmann recruited Al Crosby to American Studies. It was brilliantly interdisciplinary. Now eliminated in the UT pogrom.

@Empty_America The seeds of Diamond’s Guns, Germs & Steel in Crosby’s 1972.
Interestingly, supposedly no one knew what to do w Crosby & his biological history studies in early 70s, so someone managed to stick him in the American Studies dept at UT Austin. Great for scholarship they did

Terrific piece about a Dutch bond. Actually a complex securitization created by William Gideon Deutz- arguably the first modern merchant banker. https://t.co/vzyeGbNB7G

Wow, incredible! Mokyr is awesome - he’s the father of the “ideas school” of the Industrial Revolution, which is one of the inspirations for Works in Progress, and the author of the best book I’ve read on the Irish Famine. So exciting.

Mural of Revelations 17 in Westminster Abbey’s Chapter house “And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come …
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.”
