Candace Cunningham, Ph.D.On this day in 1955, the Washington Post reported that Chester Travelstead, Dean of the University of South Carolina’s College of Education, was fired because he spoke out against segregation in public schools. This was, of course, more than a year after the Supteme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that racial segregation in schools was unconstitutional. #todayinhistory

Taking some time to celebrate the arrival of my author’s copy for this publication tonight! Thanks to my editors Ben Offiler and Rachel Williams as well as Bloomsbury for the opportunity to contribute to this great collection.
Denise GascoigneNative Places is a spatial humanities project of the American West Center at the University of Utah.
It consists of an interactive, layered map centered on Utah that encompasses the homelands of the state’s traditionally associated tribes. The map will record and restore indigenous place names to major landscape features and selected historical and cultural sites.
Dr. ZekeJust putting this out there to support #BlackMastodon since #BlackTwitter needs a new home... ✊🏾
Luke LeBrunThis is a big problem for Mastodon.
Canadian journalist Erica Ifill just had her mastodon.online account suspended without explanation. She's been sharing stuff critical of Mastodon re: intersectional issues.
I get the decentralized structure and idea that each server has its own rules. But this Reddit-style moderation, where moderators with god-complexes make mysterious and arbitrary decisions, is going to cause people migrating to Mastodon to flee in droves.

Since many of us are still getting accustomed to the new platform and sharing #intros let me introduce you to my #FurBaby Hildy. She’s a big part of my life and is a co-author on my publications.
Robin the Mod (fka Josh)A gentle reminder to folks who are new to Mastodon. In solidarity with those in the disabled community who rely on screen readers, we ask that you:
* Add alt text/image descriptions when you post media
* Capitalize the first letter of every word in a hashtag #LikeThis
* Avoid emojis in your display name
UPDATE: So many great questions! Please check the replies to see if your question has been asked and answered ❤️

The Partial HistoriansHello beautiful folk of Mastodon! The Partial Historians is a podcast focused on ancient Roman history. We also dip into areas across the wider Mediterranean as well. Dr Rad is a specialist in Spartacus and Dr G is an expert on the Vestal Virgins.
Our primary series is tracing the history of Rome from the founding of the city - we’re up to the 430s BCE (only taken us 10 years to get here!).
We also interview amazing scholars about their work. The latest is the fabalous @vickyausten @mstdn.ca on depictions of flora in the Augustan age.
Our aim is to bring you history with rigour and depth while also ensuring it is accessible. Watch this space!

Alexandra Nicole HillI am compiling a bibliography of #OER materials for our Humanities faculty. We’re encouraging all@of them to develop courses with open educational resources. Any suggestions are welcome! #Histodons #HigherEd #HigherEducation #PedagogyOfCare
