My students are exploring the experiences of Chinese immigrants in the West after the Exclusion Act in my Gilded Age class today ... so fun to highlight @drjagodinsky and her amazing Petitioning for Freedom Project! @UNLHistory @DigLegalRschLab #habeascorpus

What does the Bible say on this subject? It says, 'Seek and ye shall find.' Besides, when I look around me at the men; I feel that God never meant us women to be too particular." Marie Jenney Howe, 1913

I have decided that, as a woman, the first half of your life is learning how to multitask. The second part of your life is about learning how to focus on one thing at a time.

Male office humor from the 1960s? Not funny. Just leaves me shaking my head. Found inside a WWII book published in 1969.

While simultaneously moving and cataloging my book collection, I found this gem in the 1969 Furnas text . . . you just never know what you'll find when you open the pages of a real book! And still a good question ... "are we civilized"?

Old history texts, unique, and antiquated. Tgus one from 1898. Makes one wonder how future generations will judge us and our writing.

What do you do when technology is being a beast . . . and you're in the middle of packing/moving? You turn on Netflix (cause it's working) and get caught up on Outlander!

Thank you so much @The_OAH . . . I am truly honored! And a huge congratulations to Dr. Wilson!

Jacksonian Era disappointment rampant in the classroom today. It's definitely time for fall break!

Disappointed to learn today that my students never had to sing the Erie Canal song in grade school. I guess my generation was just special . . .
