Hi #skystorians 👋
I'm hoping to put together a panel for the SHA 2026 Annual Meeting. My paper would analyse Dwight Eisenhower's 1962 visit to South Carolina and assess his (post-presidential) relationship with southern Republicanism.
If that fits with your panel ideas, please do get in touch! 🗃️

Only Connect team, three white men with brown hair (one bearded, one moustachioed, one clean shaven) considering two clues in the first round. For 3 points, the first two clues are "Ward in Nottingham" and "Street in Birmingham."
I was very smug at having got this one last night at 3 points until they revealed the third clue and I realised the answer wasn't "American Studies academics at Northumbria and the cities where they've presented conference papers."
For anyone who wants to have a listen to my RTE History Show chat last night about the 250,000 Irish Americans who served in the U.S. military during the Civil War, you can now listen to that section of the show here: www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...
