Those cops were brutal to me. I promise I did absolutely nothing wrong. I was standing with a line of women faculty in the their 60s to 80s trying to protect our students. I have now been banned from the campus where I have taught for 34 years.

The first panel of #berks2023 is starting in Benson Parlors B/C! Hear from undergraduate and graduate students on why they major in history and why their friends don’t!

🧵Want to share a bit more about this incubator and how it came about! As @TLeFlouria, @DainaRameyBerry & I were dreaming up this series, we were thinking about the books that we hoped & dreamed of publishing. We thought of all the folks we knew that had amazing projects...
🚨Coming Soon🚨 We're excited to announce the #BWHseries incubator which will give selected applicants the opportunity to receive feedback on their work-in-progess from series editors @drashleyfarmer, @TLeFlouria, @DainaRameyBerry 👏🏿
Stay tuned for more info!
