Having a blast in this talk by Remington Schneider, Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy, about traditional ecological and economic knowledge. Part of our programming centered on Braiding Sweetgras at BGSU. www.bgsu.edu/the-arts/in-...

Día de Muertos is coming and we have a beautiful tradition on campus to make altars in different buildings. Here’s Theater’s. We’ll make ours in history on Thursday.

We have some fantastic programming leading to Robin Kimmerer’s visit to campus in spring. My colleagues in the water center are leading the next seminar. Some #envhist coming down the road too.

Question for #envhist and humanities peeps: I’m working on an outreach plan supporting a wetland restoration project. Does anybody have recommendations of authors or projects using history to increase public awareness on restoration projects?

Next Monday (Oct 6) the two-days conference "Inequality & History" will begin, hosted by @dondenacentre.bsky.social at Bocconi University (Milan). Join us to explore & debate inequality across history, from Classical Antiquity until today! Remote attendance possible; QR code in the program below👇

With the publication of our introduction, the special issue that Tommy Bengtsson and I edited for Explorations in Economic History "Inequality, economic stress, and demographic response" is now complete! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 1/4

Great loss in #Econhist. We were just talking about Temin with some colleagues in #wehc2025. He was a regular in the Boston-area Econ hist workshop and always insightful. news.mit.edu/2025/profess...

Great time in Lund for the #WEHC2025

So happy to be part of this initiative. I piloted the new History in the Age of AI course this past spring, focusing on text recognition models (and more broadly on AI literacy). It was a very rewarding experience. www.statenews.org/section/the-...

Last year Matt Emberg developed a board game about the conquest of Tenochtitlan. Today we got to play the finalized version. I loved the process of helping Matt design the game and now seeing the outcome. Another reason why I love my job.

I bumped into the Lorax in our park’s native plants sale.

So happy to share this byline with John Coatsworth. revista.drclas.harvard.edu/the-history-...

Last month, Prof. Jane Humphries (@ox.ac.uk) delivered the Alice Murray Distinguished Scholar Lecture titled "Caring About Care: The Economic History of Caring Labour" The lecture is available here, but we'd like to highlight some of the research that supported it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BoY...

If you want to prevent use of AI in student assignments, try this method of mine. It works really nicely. In the process, it also gives students transparent tools to prove they did their own work (to me and to future employers). www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/simpl...

Fascinating essay.

And on the other side of the spectrum, this great note about the commemoration of March 24 (the last military coup in Argentina) brings the focus to the deep damage of state-sponsored terrorism, transcending the discussion on the number of victims. lavanguardiadigital.com.ar/index.php/20...

BGSU's Center for Archival Collections offers 3 short travel grants to use their collections. It's the repository of local government docs in NW #Ohio, and also has fascinating collections relevant to the #envhist and #econhist of the #GreatLakes region. More info: www.bgsu.edu/library/cac/...

@colinwoodard.bsky.social’s work on American regionalism has implications on the #econhist of persistence à la Acemoglu-Robinson. Woodard’s work has created very interesting questions about regional inequalities in public health.

A luxury for our history majors to meet @colinwoodard.bsky.social. “Desperately we need people who can bring everything together. That’s the historian.”

So much looking forward to reading Richard Salvucci’s new book!

Econ history community! Please join us in South Africa in May to discuss disseminating economic history to a broad audience. Brad DeLong will deliver the keynote address. We'll also cover accommodation in Stellenbosch in autumn, the best time of year to visit.

Thursday 10/10 at 4pm EST I'll be on Falcon Radio to listen to Argentine music from the 1970s, 1980s and beyond. Host Tate Baughman will throw stuff and me and I react with historical commentary. If you want to tune in, it's on bgfalconmedia.com/falcon-radio...

Any reading recommendations about walking and walkability in urban #envhist?

Proud to be in the organizing committee of the Ohio Latin Americanist Conference, October 3-4, 2024. We are accepting paper and panels proposals. Great featured events and atmosphere to share research. Learn more at scholarworks.bgsu.edu/olac/

I had a lot of fun in the Eclipsing History booth at the BG Schools' Astroexpo. This has been quite a journey. I learned a lot from the public's reactions to eclipses and their history. Stay tuned in bgsu.edu/eclipsinghistory for a bonus episode with the kids' testimonials of #Eclipse2024

All you wanted to know about the history of #eclipse and you were afraid to ask. In five episodes. And bonus episodes too! apple.co/3PGRFB4

These days we hear a lot about #eclipse chasing and watch parties. But this is a very recent development! Before sharp predictions, the transportation revolution and smoked glasses, eclipses were local. Learn more about this in episode 4 of Eclipsing History. overcast.fm/+BHqmwti70Q

“Written in the stars” is the third installment of Eclipsing History podcast. Soon in the drafting of the podcast we got hooked by #indigenous astronomical knowledge all over North America. It made me think a lot about the significance of this knowledge. overcast.fm/+BHqmysr5ac

Geeking out over #Eclipse2024? Check out our just released Eclipsing History podcast at bgsu.edu/eclipsinghistory . Eclipses are powerful phenomenons that influenced the #history of #NorthAmerica, often in unexpected ways.
