Just found out that the workshop Pierre-François Peirano and I proposed for the @afea.bsky.social Congress in Caen in May has been accepted! It’s open to scholars who wish to delve into the potentially grave failures of the Reconstruction experiment over the past 160 years. #amstudies #skystorians

Had the pleasure of citing @americanstudier.bsky.social in my talk on naming practices (“George Washington ______”). #AmStudies #socialhistory #sociology

Maybe we should create a #starterpack for #Americanists or #AmStudies people in #France?

How about a course
"American Studies 305
Trump/Musk coup, how it came about and current responses."

Since #AmStudies pulls from many disciplines, I'd collaborate with sociologists like @robertpjones.bsky.social

Graduate students explore America’s polarized landscape via train in this course Political polarization is at an all-time high. Students part of this University of San Diego Kroc School of Peace Studies course examine up close the country’s divides during their journey.

What a course! As a fan of trains this would have been a great #AMStudies course!
They found doc “God and Country,” about Christian nationalism compelling.

Final thing: I love working with other scholars on growing #envhist & #AmStudies

Ask me about these org!

Making baby-step but significant progress on my #thesis chapter. My plan is to get a useable draft done by the 31st, one that won’t take a total rewrite. It’s slower going and more challenging, but I feel more confident in the words I’ve written.

Okay, #twitterstorians, #amstudies, #museumstudies profs: an offer. Running @EnfieldShaker w/an @NEHgov grant to digitize collections. Former @michiganstate Museum history curator w/vast knowledge of that now- underutilized collection. Taught US history for 30 years. /1
