Here's the assignment folks. Write op-eds for your local papers and campus newspapers too. Just. Say. No. This is a classic authoritarian move and risks the future of higher education and science and innovation in the US. Speak out today. No time to lose. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/o...

I hope faculty, students, and alumni at these nine universities do everything they can to make sure their administrations don't agree to these so-called compacts. Otherwise, those of us at poorer university systems will be fighting an uphill battle.

The Trumpist higher ed agenda is to shut down most institutions and control the rest.

Can't decide what's more contemptible: trading the university's most precious assets, its institutional integrity and intellectual freedom, for cash, or selling out the rest of higher education by rewarding the divide-and-rule tactics of a corrupt government

We should all be watching what's happening in Texas very closely (and supporting our colleagues there).

And we also hope that other states don't fall in line, one after another, esp. since the Trump administration has threatened to pull federal funding from any university that follows decades of research and scholarship acknowledging that sex is not a binary. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

The next NYC mayor stands for reproductive justice! (And knows his history.) Believing that every person should get to choose whether or not they want to be a parent and have access to free healthcare if they proceed with their pregnancy shouldn't be controversial. And yet, sadly, in 2025, it is.

This workshop should not be missed!

I love the questions I'm getting from the AskHistorians community on Reddit! It's been so much fun that I have to drag myself away to get other things done.

Our book is out!! Happy publication day to our fantastic team of editors and authors.

Oh, and I forgot to tag @nursingclio.bsky.social of course!

I also have a chapter in it that has some of my most personal academic writing.

The Nursing Clio Reader is out now! This book is so good, so accessible, so smart. It's perfect for teaching, bedtime reading, and gifting. (My cat also likes the color coordination.)

Just got my author copy of the NursingClio reader! Please everyone get like 12 copies and support the incredible work of @nursingclio.bsky.social!!

By far the coolest volume I’ve ever been in. The essays meet the current assault on public health and expertise. Each imagines ways of honouring bodily autonomy without sacrificing our collective well being. @nursingclio.bsky.social @rutgersupress.bsky.social

The best part of coming home after some time away was seeing this waiting for me. You can pre-order it now!

This is happening tomorrow, and I hope you'll join us! We have a few prepared thoughts, but mostly it's a chance for contingent/independent scholars to pool ideas and strategies for research funding!

The MSA Committee of Contingent/Independent Scholars is holding a Zoom roundtable on Tues., Aug. 26, 4pm EST on “Funding and Support Off the Tenure Track and in the Face of Increasing Precarity” w/ @nissaren.bsky.social, Emily Bloom, and @chollis.bsky.social Email [email protected] for Zoom link!

It looks amazing. I seriously could not be more excited to see it in print.

Yes! This is so cool to see.
