Thrilled and honored to be discussing new approaches to the history of slavery and abolition with these INCREDIBLE scholars @ the American Society for Legal History’s annual conference! #aslh2025

New! I talked with Tyler Anbinder about his approach to writing and revising--plus, you'll learn about the person who told this celebrated historian he would never write trade book! We dug into his newest book, PLENTIFUL COUNTRY (@littlebrown.bsky.social). Listen: draftingthepast.com/podcast-epis...

I wish I could say that I purposefully picked a very New York-centric historian for today's Drafting the Past, but let's just all agree to pretend I am that good of a planner. Listen to my interview with this great historian of New York immigrants while you wait for election results!

Congratulations Jane and Briona We were honored to host you and your epic movie @gihnyu.bsky.social @kevinkenny.bsky.social @janeohlmeyer.bsky.social
