Ok. Here it is. The one pitch I’ll make for my book. “The Gospel According to Frank Wood” is an 80k word, 220 page book about one Sunday school teacher from Chicago. I know. Saying that out loud gives me pause too. But here’s the thing… /1

Excited to prep for oral history grad class next semester as an Assistant professor!
What are some of y’all’s favorite articles on oral history, testimonios, autohistorias, and the interviewing process? #oralhistory #publichistory
I made this for my intro to latinx studies class in 2022 and I have gotten to use it at least once a year since then.
Had the loveliest of times attending my first Western History Association in Albuquerque this week! And extremely humbled to share I received the WHA Jensen-Miller Prize for best article in women's and gender history of the American West 📚🤓

Thank you so much 💜 kindness and friendship like yours along the way provided so much support

I am thrilled to share that I accepted the position as Assistant Professor of Latinx/Indigenous History and Historic Preservation at Loyola University Chicago.
Grateful for the opportunity to continue my work as a Public Historian especially in these fields.
History hive mind: how does one cite a StoryMap (ESRI)? A website, a map, or something different?
I’m mind blown by the gall of the AHA to host various indigenous scholars to prioritize indigenous knowledge yet veto the condemnation of scholasticide in Gaza. As a scholar and caring human who studies Indigenous and Latinx cultural genocide and urbicide I find the decision absolutely abhorrent

Amazing thank you!!
I’m not sure. The glare made it too hard to read 😭
I appreciate you
love that for you 😂
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you!!!
Yes that first word almost looks like therein but looks like an s in front
Okay #historians! I need help deciphering the highlighted phrases. This document is a 1920s ordinance about a specific housing called “corrals”.
Sorry for the glare, I’m just a girl.
Hey folks, if you know of any Black, Indigenous, or Latinx Sociology postdocs or those finishing Sociology phds Spring/Summer 2025, dm me or email me. For a symposium of early career scholars of color.
Yes thank you for sharing!
/5 The built environment has a history of how it got to look like that today. Markers like this are sometimes the only way people connect to the landscape and learn a history of the space they live in or visit.
/4 Correcting the usage of passive voice would de-center the narrative of the commerce, settlers, & city itself. It would allow for visitor to unpack and gain a more in-depth understanding of how rivers can be political spaces.
/3 there is little that addresses the relationship between the settlers and various tribes in the area. Using passive voice is avoidant of taking responsibility and addressing the violence of the process of removal from ancestral land.
/2 the sign says “were moved west” and explains more in detail about the commerce that removal provided for Kansas City to exist. Yet it acknowledges the name of the state, city, and river are taken from the Missouria and Kansa tribes.
This is the first side of a black historical marker with gold font. There are power lines and a wooden slat fence in the back ground. There is a large flower pot next to the sign. The sign talks about the history of the Missouri River and how it helped develop Kansas City. This side talks about the Lewis and Clark expedition, the Indian removal act, how Kansas City was a trade post
This is the other side of the sign. The sign now has red brick buildings in the background. This side talks about the naming of the Missouri River, state, and city are from indigenous tribes in the area.
Thread/ my last stop in Kansas City for #WHA2024 was the Missouri River. A sign told the historical importance of the River to the city & mentioned Indian Removal Act process of removal in passive voice. This silence is violence.
