Review @hnetreviews.bsky.social

Somewhat belated announcement (as the semester has already started), but I'm excited to tell you all that I have just begun teaching world history full-time at SUNY Old Westbury. Stop by and say hi if you're in Long Island/NYC!

Successfully defended! Dr. McCaskey, at long last.

At last, I am entering the final stages of my PhD! Drop by if you're around. We may be able to set up a hybrid-thing, so PM me if you want the Zoom link (when we figure it out).
