@bryanbanksphd.bsky.social always bring us great pedagogical pieces. Check out his latest in #AHAPerspectives.

One day I wanted to engage students in my history class in a way that would make an impact. I wrote an article for this month’s issue of Perspectives on History (American Historical Association) that will blow you away about it! Read the pdf version here: www.historians.org/wp-content/u...

It's meant so much to have Robert Darnton's support over the last 10 years. For @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social and now for our @uvapress.bsky.social collection of essays. I read him in college, became enamored with cultural history, & dared to read sources differently to write histories from below.

Pick up your Age Of Revolutions companion collection! Great essays drawn from essays that first appeared on the site and others unique to the book! upress.virginia.edu/title/10176/

My copy of the newly published 'The Global Age of Revolutions' arrived in the post yesterday! My chapter is called 'The Bastille and the Roundabout: the revolutionary past of the gilets jaunes'

Just a reminder of the deep humanist roots @tlecaque.bsky.social brings to his work. This is a good reminder to not lose sight of lived experience in our historical writing. Bravo Thomas!

What if the American Revolution was also a supply‑chain crisis? This post rethinks independence through the lens of logistics, scarcity, and survival—using Nova Scotia (1783–1794) as a revealing case study. 👉 Read more: ageofrevolutions.com/2026/02/23/a...

among my favorite French Revolution details: the King's cousin, the Duke of Orleans, was so shook by the events of the revolution that he not only voted to execute his cousin but legally changed his name to Equality Phil.

One of the toughest obstacles to this volume was selecting which pieces from @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social to include. There are so many great essays. The volume is meant to be read alongside the website! www.upress.virginia.edu/author-corne...

Read an interview with the editors! www.upress.virginia.edu/author-corne...

I remember sitting by the banks of the Chatahoochee River, talking with @cindyermus.bsky.social about this volume. We knew we had the themes to publish the volume from @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social for such a book. As it turned out, it’s better than either of us imagined!

In 2018, I heard a story of tunnels beneath Columbus, Ga. They were used to transport enslaved peoples before the Civil War, this person told me. What followed was my pursuit of the truth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzbP...

What did “Terror is the order of the day” mean during the French Revolution? A new AoR piece breaks down the political pressures, popular demands, & revolutionary logic behind this infamous 1793 declaration—and why it mattered far beyond the guillotine. 👉 ageofrevolutions.com/2026/02/09/w...

Excited my research is out here and freely accessible!! Thanks Itinerario and my excellent editors @thomasmareite.bsky.social and @nagonzalezq.bsky.social! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

It is finally out! Happy to share that my article “Returning to Colombia: The Category of Émigré in the Consolidation of Republican Regimes during the Age of Revolutions” has been published by Itinerario in First View. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Who else slept “funny” last night? The crick in my neck wants to know it’s not alone.

So grateful to Bertrand Van Ruymbeke for his thoughtful and generous review of my book, Write to Return: Huguenot Refugees on the Frontiers of the French Enlightenment, in the William and Mary Quarterly. 5 pages! muse.jhu.edu/article/957893

I firmly believe there is a place for this idea out there. One day I hope to return to my project “Love in the Time of Revolution,” which is a microhistory of a father who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and later rebuilt the astrological clock in Strasbourg.

Firmly believe this would serve multiple needs.

Discover the overlooked story of Black Revolutionary War hero Jim Capers, a drum major who fought in key Southern campaigns and even served with Francis Marion. A powerful read on courage and resilience. 👉 ageofrevolutions.com/2026/01/26/t...

One thing I miss about graduate school is theory. Being introduced to big ideas. Being encouraged to reframe the world. That’s the challenge that pushed me through graduate school. I need to recapture that. Any good theory readings to come out in the last decade I may have missed?

It’s part of our mantra! Nurture. Don’t suffocate an author’s voice. #reviewer2

Working on a section of my book, entitled The Great Pigeon Massacre of 1789, that thinks about the spatial production of food on 18th-century French farms. I’m calling it “Eco-Feudal Farm to Table.”

Age of Revolutions sits down with historian Miranda Spieler to explore the hidden lives of enslaved people in Paris and the fugitive histories that challenge our understanding of freedom and empire. 👉 Read the full interview: ageofrevolutions.com/2026/01/12/i...

Giving a TedX talk on Thursday to over 300 people in person, which will later go live on their Youtube channel, which has 27 million + subscribers. I may be a little nervous. Wish me luck.

Great to see @bryanbanksphd.bsky.social's Write to Return (2025) on display at the @historians.org book exhibit in Chicago! Please make sure your library has it!

A sharp new look at Jeannot Bullet and the early Haitian Revolution—far more complex than the usual “villain” narrative. A fascinating rethink of power, violence, and revolutionary vision in 1791. @nicolaivoneggers.bsky.social 👉 ageofrevolutions.com/2025/12/29/j...

Been getting into NBA basketball more lately. Yes, players today have some crazy longevity and skills, but the stats commentators keep bragging about are just silly. “How does it feel to be the all-time leader in rebounds, assists, 2nd quarter bathrooms breaks, and most colorful shoes?”

Updating one’s CV is both exhausting and rewarding. You do more than you realize. Celebrate that.

Would love someone to write a review of the series for @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social!!! Any takers?
