Truly thrilled / invigorated by the intensity of #vastearlyAmerica @ #OAH19 - I’m at the lightning round on emerging work - “The Future of Early America” — ppl, the future is so bright!! 😎
Seen!! IRL!! @jbf1755 w her wonderful book at the #OAH19 #fieldofblood
Must Early America be Vast? We're talking abt this today at 10 #OAH19 in terms of civics as well as histrionical practice. Historians need a wider frame for a full early American past. The American (and beyond) public needs the fullest early America as context and premise. 1/
Third day of conference... GO! #OAH19
Friends! Colleagues! #Twitterstorians at #OAH19!
#VastEarlyAmerica is def not just for early Americanists.
Saturday at 10, session #AM3201 we're talking abt the history that's the past right now. W @cacayne @RonAJohnson @MJWitgen
Another great set of reflections - @KathleenADuVal talks abt when we (esp students) start to wonder if #VastEarlyAmerica is too vast to comprehend & digest - we can focus on “whole histories” w in that entirety. Yes! #OAH19
Alison Games gives, imho, a genealogy of Atlantic history that no one else could. Generous, but steely-eyed abt what historians have been trying to do - and actually done. #GetVast #readacrossfields #OAH19 #VastEarlyAmerica
There are TWO "thinking about Early America" panels at the SAME time this afternoon #OAH19 😱
Obv I'm going to both. 🤓⏰🏃🏼♀️
Yep. I'm standing by that 2013 assertion (@DrJulieHardwick, Sarah Pearsall & I introducing special William & Mary Quarterly issue)!
