Happy Fourth and happy 250th. I find myself re-reading FDR’s third inaugural address often these days. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/th...

My book baby has arrived! 🤩 Not for the first time, my wonderful editors @yalebooks.bsky.social have delightfully surprised me: the colours on the jacket catch the light (I'm told it's called 'spot gloss')! It really is a thing of beauty. #books #booksky #histsci #queerhistory 🌈📚🗃️

Devastating www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

Im so exhausted by this pattern. Historians spend years in the archives to write detailed accounts of the past. Only for journalists, doctors, podcasters, and now cartoonists, to swoop in and get paid a lot of money to trot out the same work, "uncovering hidden histories" that are not at all hidden.

An open letter, to readers, about Charity and Sylvia. I am very pained to feel the need to write this. #queerhistory #pride

Why did this journal retract two 1940s papers by Max Planck? Clicking on the links now reveals blank pages and empty PDFs. “Intellectually, it’s not acceptable,” two science historians argue. arstechnica.com/science/2026...

What the actual f

One thing I’ve noticed after 6 months as co-editor of the Journal of Social History: younger scholars at less wealthy institutions and with less secure employment are more likely to say yes as reviewers. Senior scholars at elite institutions rarely do. Smdh

TBH I feel like Mamdani has bent over backwards to demonstrate that he's not remotely antisemitic, and guys like Frum who will call him an antisemite anyway on the basis of his religion and anti-Zionism are doing the work of bona fide antisemites

This kind of thing is exactly why tenure is supposed to exist. Professors aren’t supposed to fear they may lose their job if they say something politically unpopular.

The Supreme Court is rolling back Americans’ rights to bodily autonomy and privacy. Samuel Huneke asks whether it’s time to rethink staking the former in the latter.

More of this please.

25% is enormous! If it were 5% we'd be justified in pulling the plug on the whole thing

Utter nonsense. Once again AI exists for people too lazy to think for themselves.

Excited to share the cover of "Racism and Antiracism in Divided Germany," a forthcoming book I co-edited with Lauren Stokes. A history of racism and antiracist activism in East, West, and unified Germany—and why it matters today. 30% off from Cornell UP with code 09BCARD: tinyurl.com/RADGcornell

I’m sorry, Republicans are literally banning Plato on college campuses, but it’s the *left* that has ruined the humanities? Get a grip.

It’s really frightening.

I’m shocked. Shocked!

Outrageous

Woke up to some exciting news: Everyday Denazification in Postwar Germany, has been awarded the Council for European Studies Silver Book Award. I'm deeply honored by this recognition and grateful to everyone who supported the project councilforeuropeanstudies.org/announcement...

Thank you Anna 🙏

Officially DONE with grading, done with teaching until Fall 2027.

I was thrilled to sit down with @lgbtqnation.com to chat about I Will Not Abandon You. Read our interview here: www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/pers...

Very excited to have been invited to speak at the @wienerlibrary.bsky.social this summer! I’ll be in conversation with @rosieramsden.bsky.social and Will Jones. If you’re in London, don’t miss it! wienerholocaustlibrary.org/event/book-t...

Unholy cow. We’re headed for a future where reading is banned at universities

Reminder that I’m speaking at Little District Books tonight!

I was thrilled to sit down with the folks at Stanford History for an alumni interview history.stanford.edu/news/alumni-...

“An important view of how destabilizing persecution is for those on the margins. It’s a thoughtful reflection on the complexity of state crackdowns on freedom of sexual expression.” Read a new review of @schuneke.bsky.social’s I Will Not Abandon You in Publishers Weekly: bit.ly/42dURde

Absolutely not. It’s hard to get excited about voting democratic when they keep feeding up this slop

Just blown away by the generosity of my colleagues in selecting me for the David Powers Corwin Award for LGBTQ+ teaching and scholarship

I am going to lose my mind

As an author of books and of book reviews this is absolutely true. I really worry about what it does to intellectual life longer term not to have a public that cares to engage with long form prose - whether fiction or non fiction. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/b...

4. something new: the important book of @schuneke.bsky.social on lesbian women in Nazi Germany utppublishing.com/doi/book/10....

DC friends! I’ll be talking about I WILL NOT ABANDON YOU at Little District Books on May 5. More info and RSVP here: littledistrictbooks.com/products/i-w...

"A history professor course could not allocate instructional time to the Stonewall riots or the gay rights movement. If a U.S. history textbook includes a chapter on the AIDS crisis, the professor must skip it." www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

If you’re based in Northern Ireland, I have a piece about my new @cornellupress.bsky.social book in the @belfasttelegraph.co.uk today!

It was a delight to chat with @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social about I Will Not Abandon You newbooksnetwork.com/i-will-not-a...
