It's really fun to be citing my friends while fleshing out footnotes for the chapter draft. If you haven't read @bryanbanksphd.bsky.social 's Write to Return: Huguenot Refugees on the Frontiers of the French Enlightenment, I highly recommend it.

One day I wanted to engage students in my history class in a way that would make an impact. I wrote an article for this month’s issue of Perspectives on History (American Historical Association) that will blow you away about it! Read the pdf version here: www.historians.org/wp-content/u...

It's meant so much to have Robert Darnton's support over the last 10 years. For @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social and now for our @uvapress.bsky.social collection of essays. I read him in college, became enamored with cultural history, & dared to read sources differently to write histories from below.

Just a reminder of the deep humanist roots @tlecaque.bsky.social brings to his work. This is a good reminder to not lose sight of lived experience in our historical writing. Bravo Thomas!
What if the American Revolution was also a supply‑chain crisis? This post rethinks independence through the lens of logistics, scarcity, and survival—using Nova Scotia (1783–1794) as a revealing case study.

I remember sitting by the banks of the Chatahoochee River, talking with @cindyermus.bsky.social about this volume. We knew we had the themes to publish the volume from @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social for such a book. As it turned out, it’s better than either of us imagined!
