So honored and humbled to announce that Pasifika Black was awarded the 2023 @ASALH book prize! Thanks to @madameclair08, the ASALH Book Prize Committee, and to all those who helped make this possible. And warm congrats to my amazing co-finalists! 👊🏿 🙏🏿

One of the things I'm always confused about is folks who insist they work tons of hours every week.
I don't. I can't!
It doesn't all fit along with sleep and food and exercise and errands and a little bit of a life.
I'm tired after 3-4 hours of work a day, and useless after 5.

It is with great sadness to report that Effie Kapsalis @digitaleffie is no longer with us. She was a fierce advocate for open access to knowledge at the @Smithsonian and beyond, and a passionate @Wikipedia supporter. @MuseumCN #Museweb #OpenGLAM #GLAMwiki everloved.com/life-of/effie-…

If you are a person in the US who winces every time someone tells you they are decolonizing their syllabus or learning management system, I do not recommend a sojourn at a UK university. The white people are “decolonizing” everything here. 😬

Abortion access in Indiana has been critical not only for Hoosiers, but also people throughout the Midwest.
Access to abortion is essential, and it shouldn’t depend on where you live.

I'm going to be teaching an upper division class on the US Civil War and Reconstruction. Mostly history/poli sci/ and Social Studies Ed majors. What are your top recommendations for books to assign? There's just so many, I can't choose. so what's worked well in the classroom 4u?
