Next week I'll be visiting @fredoniau.bsky.social to give a public talk (Thurs 9th @ 5PM!) and visit some classes. I can't wait to talk to current students, reconnect with faculty who indelibly shaped me, and be back at the place where I spent four wonderful years. www.fredonia.edu/news/article...

"The termination of your grant represents an urgent priority for this administration." Gutted to learn of the loss of my NEH Fellowship and to see so many others in the same boat - not to mention the @nehgov.bsky.social employees whose jobs are on the line. A brutal day for the humanities.

We’re looking for volunteers to staff the registration desk at #SHAFR2025. In exchange, we’ll comp your registration fee, keep you fed, and guarantee you’ll meet some cool people 😎

Thanks for the great writeup, @virginiatechnews.bsky.social !

SCREAMING!!!! Beyond grateful to the @nehgov.bsky.social for supporting my work, and absolutely overjoyed that I'll be able to devote a full year to my next book, which explores the life and legacy of international human rights activist Ginetta Sagan.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for sharing this terrific postdoc @jcblibrary.bsky.social! I'm testing your generosity here but would love to also share that we have TWO additional senior research fellowships for BROWN2026. Details at apply.interfolio.com/159128 and see number 2 below for terms... 1/

New documentary on the Battle of Hue!! Congrats @drrobthompson.com !

Amna Qayyum, Courtney Sato, Alexis Peri, and I are putting together a panel that explores women's internationalism/advocacy and nonstate actors for #SHAFR2025 and we need a commentator. Anyone interested?

A profound loss. Cynthia was DGS when I arrived at UNH, I took a course with her my first semester in grad school, and I later TAed for her Intro to Early America class. She was kind, witty, endlessly fashionable, and projected a quiet yet undeniable authority I always admired. She will be missed

Haven't seen one of these for SHAFR / US in the World people, so thought I'd make one given that I'm currently trapped under a cat. Happy to add people! go.bsky.app/CFos3Xu

Not an exhaustive list, but we're all likely exhausted.

This week I'm sharing a chapter from my new book for the first time with my colleagues at VT. It tells the story of Ginetta Sagan's early forays into human rights activism, including visiting Greece every single year that the junta was in power to interview prisoners and assist their families /1

How wonderful. Call for Applications for the Martin J. Sherwin Fellowship for emerging scholars in nuclear policy and history. www.wilsoncenter.org/martin-j-she...
