Last call for proposals for SHQ forum issue: “Texas Punishment: Reconsidering Incarceration in Texas History.” Abstracts due Jan 1!

An #introduction post. Like many others I’m looking for something better than the bird. I’m a history professor at Texas A&M U in San Antonio. I’ve published books about the history of juvenile justice and mental health in Texas, as well as other shorter pieces on related topics in U.S. national, comparative, and transnational contexts. I just took on a new job as the inaugural director of an honors program after 12 years as a department chair. Happy to connect.
