Congratulations to @icshc.bsky.social Honorary Visiting Research Fellows, Dr Kevin Tallec Marston and Prof. Mike Cronin, on this recognition by @nassh1972.bsky.social! #sportshistory #NASSH2025

Just got back from a morning walk with Lady. Before that, I finished grading 3 of the 4 assignments from last week in my summer course.

Time to make some coffee and get that last assignment graded, so then I can get to writing as soon as possible today. Let's keep my #NASSH2025 momentum going...

Intentionality. That was my word of the week at the #NASSH2025. As academia fights current political statements in the US, it is my job to push back. It is our job as academics to be intentional with our mentorship, leadership, and teaching practices.
