📣 Are you doing Latino Public History in your classrooms? I want to talk! 🙋‍♀️ I'm building a new class & want to talk to folks who have tried this in their classroom (succesful or not!) & how to build out shareable tools for us to all be able to do these projects in our classes. Please share widely! 💫

Thank you!! I hope they like it 💖 p.s. working my way through Partisans, and I really want to chat once I'm done...it has been such a generative text and a model for writing for a broader audience.

So I’ve had my 1st Black History Month event cancellation because of “DEI concerns,” citing a fear of frivolous suits. Funny thing is, I don’t do DEI, I’m a historian of the Black American experience. A reminder that DEI is just a dog whistle about suppressing history, if you need a reminder.

Relieved to be wrapping up this semester which was...a lot. A bright spot for me has been working with my "History of Latinxs in the US" class on a project abt the history of Latinx people in Durham, NC. They created a Zine with their research available here: drive.google.com/file/d/1kdZZ...

Hey! I keep trying to add you but for some reason your name isn't popping up in the search...is your account private or hidden in some way that might be preventing me from adding you?

A convo with @paperbacksfrybread.bsky.social, an indie bookstore in #NorthCarolina that centers on Indigenous stories.

Calling it just a bookstore is an injustice though. It’s also a curated collection of Native history, culture, and support for banned books.

Doing historical research isn’t just an intellectual enterprise; it’s emotional and embodied.

I legit almost threw up earlier this morning while researching etymology related to the year 1712.

If you’re a historian and/or do archival research, how do you handle the SHOCK of revelation?
