Had the loveliest of times attending my first Western History Association in Albuquerque this week! And extremely humbled to share I received the WHA Jensen-Miller Prize for best article in women's and gender history of the American West 📚🤓 #wha2025

✨🗣️Announcement🗣️✨ I am thrilled to share that I accepted the position as Assistant Professor of Latinx/Indigenous History and Historic Preservation at Loyola University Chicago. Grateful for the opportunity to continue my work as a Public Historian especially in these fields.

History hive mind: how does one cite a StoryMap (ESRI)? A website, a map, or something different?

I’m mind blown by the gall of the AHA to host various indigenous scholars to prioritize indigenous knowledge yet veto the condemnation of scholasticide in Gaza. As a scholar and caring human who studies Indigenous and Latinx cultural genocide and urbicide I find the decision absolutely abhorrent

Okay #historians! I need help deciphering the highlighted phrases. This document is a 1920s ordinance about a specific housing called “corrals”. Sorry for the glare, I’m just a girl.

Hey folks, if you know of any Black, Indigenous, or Latinx Sociology postdocs or those finishing Sociology phds Spring/Summer 2025, dm me or email me. For a symposium of early career scholars of color.

Thread/ my last stop in Kansas City for #WHA2024 was the Missouri River. A sign told the historical importance of the River to the city & mentioned Indian Removal Act process of removal in passive voice. This silence is violence. Maybe @sienriquez.bsky.social Can add more context

If you’re black or brown in academia you may as well accept that you’re about to have a very large target painted on your back and the pool of peoples you’re going to teach are gonna dwindle tremendously in the coming years. Please be careful.

I recently contributed to a preservation plan for a late 18th-century home on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It holds stories of agricultural development, slavery, and economic prosperity and struggle. #HistoricalPreservation #18thCentury #ColonialArchitecture #PublicHistory #ArchitecturalHistory

Bluesky, Today is my 2nd day on here as an escapee from The Bad Place. I am BEGGING y’all to repost this I have $80,000 in scholarship money to give away to women and girls NATIONWIDE. I worked so hard to raise this money. Applications open THIS week. I’m scared the mass migration will impact this

Reminder, due Dec 1! Cover letter and CV only for first round!

Hello! I began a starter pack with some folks working on Latina/o/x Studies, it's broadly defined and a work in progress for sure. Please share and also send more recommendations of folks to include! go.bsky.app/Rmi3sGW

Finally revived and updated my personal website. You can find links to much of my public writing, video presentations, and some teaching resources: austincmccoy.com

I have created a Starter Pack of Labor Journalists and Writers. Feel free to send suggestions! go.bsky.app/TWMqomw

Hey Bluesky! I’ll be sharing posts on cultural landscapes, public history, and African American heritage. I believe learning about our roots strengthens personal and community well-being and I work to make those connections for people. I look forward to connecting and learning with others on here!

If that's you, let me know and I'll stick you on there!

Ok I saw the starter packs thing. Y’all are cute. Hello! Go get a library card.

I’m not really sure why my Bluesky ballooned today- wow thank you new followers! I’m an Inupiaq Alaska Native historian and writer- I periodically share about Native American history. My favorite color is purple- lavender to be specific.

With the mass amount of new follows I’d like to introduce myself! I’m a PhD candidate that studies the history of adobe in San Antonio, Tx. also involved in cemetery preservation. I study Borderlands, public history & digital humanities. I’m excited to interact & learn from others here 💜🫶🏼

Sharing for all the new people on Bluesky! *Black DH Projects & Resources* an open community list of 600+ links and counting! bit.ly/Black-DH-List Add yours, and then help us learn about someone else's work too? #BlackSky

Hi friends! I've been trying really hard to keep this list diverse. Recommendations welcome, especially of BIPOC & queer (etc.) public historians whose voices you'd like to see elevated here! go.bsky.app/53FhZd1

Here's the start of gathering a bunch of fantastic public historians' accounts together. go.bsky.app/53FhZd1 DM or comment with people I'm missing! #publichistory #publichistorians #starterpack

Hi folks, I’m teaching a graduate seminar in the spring and am building it around the practice of microhistory, with readings rooted in US history to Reconstruction. I would welcome suggestions of books or articles in this vein that you’ve found teach particularly well!

This is the death of history. To kill the archives is to kill history. NARA employees pushed back which is great but their resistance is limited. Is there anything we can do as historians? Write a letter opposing this? Boycott the archives until ai is removed? @ahahistorians.bsky.social

🤎🧱 wearing a hard hat was probably one of the coolest things I’ve done #publichistory #preservation #SanAntonioHistory
