Thank you @newsweek.com Reader’s Choice Awards—we were voted to be a top ten Best Free Museum in the nation. This is huge and wonderful.

We have some amazing historical exhibits at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center. Here is my team in front of the Global War on Terror exhibit. We have a 65 acre campus with a walking trail that will take you through period-specific installations like this. With the warmer weather, come by!

Such a great Hung Liu exhibition on art and propaganda (from the Mao era in China, and the cultural revolution) at the Georgetown University art gallery. Congrats to Dorothy Moss and her students.

Im super impressed by the panache of Kitty Bradley who had 5-star themed jewelry made. Talk about flex!

How awesome are these #YWCA posters from World War I? #workingwomen Collection of the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... Really informative talk on the “Band of Women” taking care of fallen pilots and rescuing allied pilots in France with @katelemay.bsky.social

I’d like to thank Dr. @katelemay.bsky.social for this episode on some of the unique wartime experiences of Normans caring for the dead and some who risked their lives and safety to care for the living as they sheltered stranded aircrew members until they could get back with the American forces.

Daily dose of cuteness for y’all:

Had a special trip recently to the WWII Homefront Museum, Saint Simons Island, GA. The Coastal Georgia Historical Society is responsible for this historic museum. Beautifully curated—and MAPS!! I was in my happy place.

For all who are interested in civil-military relations, you have until 9 December to submit proposals for our annual Army War College Civil-Military Relations Center conference on 2-3 May. There is even some travel money for grad students. Apply here! cmrc.armywarcollege.edu/outreach-pro...

Good Morning from a balmy 27 in carlisle pa

Nice to be recognized. Thank you to SECAC! #Team1898

Happy turkey day!

I love this 3-minute CSPAN video giving so much insight into the history of Hawaii (and how white people stole it, ofc). Curator and historian Kate LeMay of the National Portrait Gallery puts it all together – art history and a historian's insights. Twitter URL to watch: twitter.com/cspanhistory...

I can’t believe it, but I got to talk about one of the most interesting U.S. artists, Winslow Homer, with SmartHistory! I acknowledge my dissertation advisor Sarah Burns and my brother John Lemay whose teaching and experiences inform my interpretation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbPh...

A great podcast and what an opportunity to speak about “1898: U.S. Imperial Visions and Revisions”—Michael is a first rate historian and this is high praise. 🤓🙏🏼

It’s a book launch for “1898: Visual Culture and U.S. Imperialism in the Caribbean and the Pacific.” Whaaat?! nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Who has good Miami tips? Because I’ve never been. Tell me!

Who is in Miami this week? We are looking forward to speaking about our “1898: U.S. Imperial Visions and Revisions” exhibition currently on view at National Portrait Gallery USA —we are hosted by Florida International University and the panel is Wednesday, Oct 25, at 2pm! cri.fiu.edu/events/2023/...

Calling all Ben Franklin scholars! Check out the wonderful work the @amphilsociety.bsky.social is doing!

Miami Friends! I will be presenting about 1898 with Taína Caragol. There are two events; October 26 is a book launch and October 25 is a panel with FIU's Cuban Research Institute. Come to either! Oh and delight of delights, Julio Capó Jr. Is moderating our book launch at Coral Gables Museum.

Psyched to see 1898 listed as one of the DC art shows to see this fall. Thank you @hyperallergic.com !!

Happening now! centropr.hunter.cuny.edu/event/cafeci...

Feeling grateful to have had this opportunity to share Presidential history and #1898

Apparently I have “rizz”

Why

9pm. Well, folks, my Great Dane has declared it is time to sleep. She does this every night …The reverse alarm clock. How I adore her

Someone just congratulated me for having chigger bites because the alternative was bed bugs. I’ll take it. How is your day going?

Got some new office decor framed up 🤓

Goal: Back to a regular workout routine this week. Hosting a symposium really took a whack at any routine I might have had. PS Beastie witnessed the leg workout this AM and was not impressed

It is a book. press.princeton.edu/books/hardco... as many of you know, making a book ain’t no small thang. Proud of this beautiful publication. Also, see the exhibition 🤓 at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery
