Teaching environmental justice history across the Americas is tough. It’s one thing to teach students how governments & multinationals poison our neighborhoods. It’s another thing to teach them what the U.S. government did in Central America. We’ve been reading on Berta Cáceres the last 3 weeks.

I’m new to this shit, y’all. I wasn’t trained how to teach college students about what the U.S. govt did in Central America during the Cold War. Students came in critical, but how can you ever truly prepare to learn all of what the U.S. government has done to people everywhere?

I’m excited to go to Boston this week for a symposium on Monocultures at Tufts University. We mustn’t forget that there are more plantations today than ever before, and they continue to harm, people, places, and our planet.

Writing letters of recommendation and mentoring students in college is demanding and hidden labor, but one of my favorite students is a Truman Scholar as of today and forever, so I’m feeling a little differently about writing letters today (but probably not forever).

I wish we lived in a world where we knew as much as much about the Congolese Rainforests as we do the Amazon Rainforests.

So generous, thank you!! I’d love to see a model.

This sounds phenomenal, thank you!

I have to teach a 200-level global environmental history lecture course in the fall, and I’m honestly pretty nervous about it. What articles or readings have you taught or would teach in a global environmental history class?

Thank you so much!! Here for all the support!!

Thank you so much for this!!

I’m heading to Tokyo in July. Are there any environmental historians or environmental humanities scholars who want to connect?

What’s the role of history—historical archives and historical thinking—in the formation of environmental justice movements in the past and today?

It was our honor to have you as a guest!! It meant so much to me and especially the students!! You’re welcome anytime you’re in the area!!

It was my honor to guide a climate anxiety workshop in this space with the skilled & dedicated students of 17 for Peace & Justice. It is beautiful, welcoming, created & maintained with intention. Spaces where structurally beleaguered people can just *be* are rare & precious & worth tending.

Our Black and Indigenous art gallery to support students through climate and eco anxiety is almost ready for its grand opening on May 1st, but student orgs are already using the space!! Check us out at the CEDAR Gallery history.umd.edu/cedar-gallery

I’m a Black environmental writer and historian of Mexico and the Americas, and I just started a Substack! Check me out there @roguechieftan

I have followed @attackerman.bsky.social's hard-hitting War on Terror journalism for almost 2 decades. But the tenderness of this piece of reporting on Gaza's hospitals is both beautiful and heart-breaking.

Two French companies that process gum arabic are fueling the war in Sudan. See film below. Sudan produces 80% of the world's gum arabic used to produce candy, soft drinks, cosmetics etc...it's the one Sudanese product that was never placed under Euro-American sanctions. 3ayin.com/en/gum-arabi...

After two days on strike, nearly 1,000 faculty at NYU won huge concessions from the university.

Everyone in the CFU-UAW union will now get a raise of at least $14,000.

The deal also includes 3.5% raises each year of the contract, better job security, and more.

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

My latest:

Brown’s first Climate Week, led by IBES, sparks campus-wide climate conversations What does it take to confront the climate crisis, and where do we all fit in? This March, Brown students, faculty, staff, and community members came together across the campus to explore a wide range ...

Hundreds of Brown community members came together for Climate Week 2026, transforming lecture halls and auditoriums into forums for exchange.

Topics ranged from student career aspirations to sustainable finance, and from environmental justice to decarbonization strategies.
