Shreveport is getting a Total Wine. The only news that could be better than this is a Trader Joe's

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

Today I start my ninth year at Louisiana Tech, and my second as director. One more year and I'll get a set of steak knives!

Every history survey I teach begins with two weeks of information literacy training. In feedback at the end of the quarter, students frequently tell me that learning how to identify credible sources online was the most valuable lesson they learned in my class.

I wrote something new for History Respawned today. It's a review of a new book about Red Dead, but it's really about academic writing and historical game studies as a field. Please read, but also know, I really really really really REALLY didn't want to write this review.

A Louisiana Tech student is a counselor at Camp Mystic and helped save campers.

The talking point that little girls have to settle for fewer dolls to soften the collapse of the consumer economy is genius. Women be shopping, and this whole thing smacks of gender.

Academia has officially entered its late Soviet phase: students pretend to work and professors pretend to grade them

historians who've taught grad readings courses: are there any writing assignments that worked particularly well, either throughout or at the end of the semester?

Are you a history professor who has been pressured to alter your curriculum — particularly regarding the history of Black & African American people in the United States? We would love to talk to you. Send us a DM!

Putting this out there again. We shook the job tree and three tenure lines fell out! One each in history, sociology, and political science. Come work with us!

OK, every year I try to explain to my students how LLMs work, and every year I have to do a big trawl for good resources and activities. Here's this year's haul of *introductory* materials. (In-class activities + visualizations, not so much readings.)

to be fair they did used to have an episode of crash course.

Back to the grind tomorrow.

2024 was the year I finished my masters in history. My favorite seminars - War & Society and WWI - have really shaped how I study and teach history. Thank you Dr Anderson & Dr Worsencroft for pushing me out of my comfort zone and guiding me through the program. Always grateful.

It's 72 degrees out and I'm just eating Ferrero Rochers and sipping eggnog, trying not to think too much about it all.

Tech bros know what every parent wants: children who sleep less

Can't tell you how often I heard from Trump voters things like "we're taking care of the illegals instead of the troops" oh well bsky.app/profile/stev...

Pete Hegseth just out here singing Gin Blossoms lyrics at the US Senate. "And you can trust me not to drink. And not to sleep around. If you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down."

the reason there is too much giving tuesday email is that we have stripped away federal support for public goods for 40 years

Thanks to our very wise Board of Trustees, one of the courses I normally teach (LGBTQ History), along with 431 others, will no longer count toward the fulfillment of general education requirements. Just another day in the “Free State of Florida.” 🗃️

Can report there is still no opt-out. I'm part of a team of #milhist scholars that has voided its contract for a 4th ed of American Military History with Routledge because T&F sold out to Microsoft rather than protect its authors' IP. 🗃️ #academicsky www.thebookseller.com/news/academi...

Check your carrots. The CDC warns of a bad E. coli outbreak across at least 18 states with one death identified so far.

Find somebody who looks at you the way a historian looks at a decade that’s been overlooked by previous historians but is actually central to their topic.

Hey, @uncpress.bsky.social and all who follow, I’m here. Not 100% convinced that I’ll be able to hawk my books and authors as widely as I can on Twitter, despite the exodus and associations. Convince me otherwise.

I think I just finished the last chapter of my book.

My colleagues and I are talking about revamping our history MA program. Getting rid of comps, less focus on historiography, and no more stepping-stone-to-phd models. What does your dream history MA look like?
