Hi friends! I am about to start doing research for two new year long classes: Women in World History (Pre-History to 500) and Empires in World History. I would love to read your book, article, blog, or whatever you have on the topic. I will absolutely let you know how I use and cite your work. #worldhistory #history

@histodons Hey y'all! If you know anyone who is looking for a tenure-track position in early modern studies, Amherst College is looking for such a person! They begin reviewing applications 9/1, but the first round just needs a cover letter, CV, and writing sample -- nothing too invasive!

Yes! I finally reset my password correctly for both of my accounts on here. So, hi. How’s it going? It’s been awhile.

Any medievalist/DHers out there/here? We're getting close to last call for proposals for #kzoo #kzoo24! I've got one that might be interesting: What's a Nice Medievalist Like You Doing in a Digital Humanities Project Like That?

I'm hoping for very informal, conversational perspectives from anyone in DH who started in Medieval Studies, and found themselves enjoying the world of DH.

Happy to say more about what I'm looking for -- nutshell: informal intellectual journey, with lots of audience participation/questions.

Plz share widely!

I missed this last week!

Vivek Ramaswamy in 2004, asking Al Sharpton why he should vote for the Democratic candidate with the least political experience.

Hilarious.

Being AFAB means knowing that no matter how extraordinary you are, that the most unpromising man with NO expertise is empowered and rewarded by the patriarchy to publicly judge and evaluate your worth, because his masculinity, beats our expertise and professionalism. See Exhibit A and B.

It’s so hard not to make a glib little quip about how finally I can make more autistic friends as an adult whenever someone tries to say that random stuff causes autism.

Just found out that two of my students know Chinese which is helpful and also makes me anxious because there are some tones I can’t figure out quite yet.
