Hey @chicagomanual.bsky.social, want to help the historians out and provide a similar tutorial?

Major news: A @nytimes.com story today reports on developments in our lawsuit, filed with @modernlanguage.bsky.social and @acls1919.bsky.social, opposing the illegal dismantling of the NEH. The article covers newly released discovery in the case. Here’s what discovery confirmed: 🧵(1/7)

Are you a PhD student studying urban or metropolitan history? Apply to join the inaugural Alison Isenberg Dissertation Colloquium that we're running at the SACRPH conference this October. Come for the snacks, stay for the mentorship, camaraderie, and writing help.

The AHA has published Guiding Principles for Artificial Intelligence in History Education, offering a disciplinary approach to AI that focuses on the specific needs and challenges of history educators. 🗃️

This is the history that we stand to lose if the Trump administration is allowed to continue to dismantle and gut the National Park Service. Thanks to Ashley Whitehead Luskey for writing this brutally honest and deeply personal op-ed. #NationalParks www.historians.org/perspectives...

Reader, for my first #AHAReads task I intended to read one chapter from this @zelizer.bsky.social volume. I ended up reading 10 and am still going. Highly recommended. For the next task: Babel by ‪@rfkuang.bsky.social‬. Several @historians.org staff are planning to read this together.

#skystorians, if you want to write about the constitutional history of the federal judiciary as part of check and balances, reach out. [email protected] 🗃️

It's time for #AHAReads, brainchild of @lmansley.bsky.social and launched by AHA staff a few years ago b/c we like to read and wanted a fun thing to do together over the summer. I'm reading an essay from @zelizer.bsky.social's edited volume The Presidency of Donald J. Trump for my first task.

Hear me out. It might be a good time to better understand American Constitutional history. And @historians.org has a series of booklets covering Constitutional topics such as judicial review, political parties, and immigration. They are about 50–70 pages, so a quick read. (And teachable!) 🗃️

@acls1919.bsky.social, the AHA, & @modernlanguage.bsky.social filed a lawsuit in federal district court today, seeking to reverse the recent actions of the NEH to devastate the agency, including the elimination of grant programs, staff, and entire divisions and programs. 🗃️

When the @historians.org annual meeting is over and everything is shipped back to the office 🫠 #aha25

Reminder to add any event or call for opportunities for #skystorians to @historians.org's free online calendars. No cost, and we see a lot of visitors to these pages.

hey folks attending #aha25 @historians.org this weekend, if you teach any african history at any level come along to a session I'm helping moderate on "the state of the field for busy teachers" on friday at 3:30. as someone who teaches medieval africa to high schoolers I'm keen to learn too!

On my way to #AHA25. Early morning travel has its perks. Pictured: the Susquehanna from the window of my Acela train.

Wish I could be there! If anyone attending is interested in teaching labor history to the kiddos, please spread the word :) www.simonandschuster.com/books/Fight-...

Not a marketing angle we thought to take when promoting #AHA25. Maybe for Chicago in '26.

Another reminder to #AHA25 attendees to let me know if you'd like to be added to our attendee starter pack. And to be sure to follow the folks included in the starter pack. Lots of good #AHA25 content coming in this week.

We organized meetups centered around board games, reading, and fiber arts because we want #AHA25 attendees to have places where they can connect over topics other than history. And, let's be real, because the AHA staff also want to do these things. 🎲📚🧵🧶.

The AHA promotes the critical role of historical thinking in public life, leads the discipline, and advocates for historians everywhere. With your support, we can continue our important work.

K-12 educators who are going to the @historians.org annual meeting in NYC at the end of this week, check out the ~100 sessions below that you can get CTLE professional credit for attending. #aha25 #aha2025

Lots happening in the #AHA25 exhibit hall!

My 7-year-old nephew wants to read more history books. #skystorians, what do you recommend? He's interested in all kinds of history, no specific era or geographical location.

A lot of the work we do @historians.org can feel very heavy, and so I build small moments of joy into my workday whenever I can. One of today's came when this colorful little sticker, which we designed to promote #AHA26 and will hand out at #AHA25, arrived in the mail.

Only two weeks and two days until #AHA25 opens in NYC! Let me know if you're attending and want to be added to our @historians.org #AHA25 starter pack. p s. AHA staff are in the "running on caffeine and vibes" stage of the meeting. Be nice to us, please.

22 days until #AHA25. Currently contemplating which board games to pack for the board game meetup a few of us @historians.org staff are hosting the first day of the meeting.
