NY, NJ, CT people! I'm giving book talks and having conversations all next week on the red-hot issue of LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum in K-12 schools. Link to them in my linktree. Come! And check out my book, CONTESTED CURRICULUM: LGBTQ HISTORY GOES TO SCHOOL, out now from @rutgersupress.bsky.social

Check out my episode of the American Historical Review's podcast series, "State of the Field for Busy Teachers." I talk about how to make K-12 and undergrad survey history education LGBTQ-inclusive and some great places to start.

An interview with the brilliant @donromesburg.bsky.social on his new book, Contested Curriculum and the assault on LGBT history slate.com/life/2025/09...

Proud to be a featured speaker next week at the @oneinstitute.org symposium for K-12 educators. It's essential not to obey in advance to the SCOTUS Mahmoud ruling. There are so many compelling ways to do LGBTQ-inclusive history education in all grades! www.oneinstitute.org/july-7-8-202...

We need answers—now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justice—this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release. Read more: 48hills.org/2025/06/drag...

As a historian involved with K-12 LGBTQ-inclusive education who just published a related book, my first thoughts on Mahmoud v Taylor: * Many districts & educators will obey in advance * This won't be contained to elementary grades. Read my full substack on it: tinyurl.com/3btwpc5a

Happy to talk about CA's LGBTQ-inclusive History-Social Science Framework. Check out the One Institute's new collaborative K-12 lesson plans--now more than ever. (Wish the journalist had mentioned my new book: Contested Curriculum: LGBTQ History Goes to School, but glad the word's getting out!)

This is a great TK-12 #LGBTQ starter kit for #historyeducation and #socialstudies ! Also be sure to check out lgbtqhistory.org #edusky #pride

". . . Recovering this history, previously invisible, erased, is a form of political resistance. We have the right to exist. We have the right to a past. To a present life. To a future.

Today at @ucdavis.bsky.social -- hope to see you there!

(long🧵) Watching some gays & lesbians celebrate that heinous UK Court ruling against trans women has me again thinking about how little most gay people know about their own history. No, I'm not rehashing if trans people were at Stonewall (they were). I'm talking about the long arc of what it even...

On Saturday, at the People's March rally in SF hosted by @missmore8.bsky.social and Alex U Inn, I spoke on the dangers of queer/trans epistemicide and how we can fight back. www.instagram.com/reel/DIZOHJq...

Yikes, 15 of my publications, everything from books and articles to book reviews, were used, with no compensation or advance notice.

We have to make the case for why inclusive history education matters, to survive this moment and its systematic erasures. It has to happen in classrooms, curriculum, ed materials, policy, and law. From Contested Curriculum: LGBTQ History Goes to School ( @rutgersupress.bsky.social ) bit.ly/4iHiz81
