UPDATE on running an analog course at Rutgers-Newark -
Background: I changed my History of South Asia II class to be analog this term. This means:
No laptops, e-books, zoom, Canvas, pdfs, or online assignments.
Yes to handwritten notes, physical books, and in-class quizzes / exams.
Midway now...
Delighted to learn that my new book, The Second Emancipation: Nkrumah, Pan-Africanism, and Global Blackness at High Tide, has been named as a finalist for the Anisfield-Wolf Book Prize. www.anisfield-wolf.org/2026/03/anis... (A radio segment follows below.)

This Pittsburgh Penguins team is, so far, really good. Legitimately good. It has not entirely been noticed yet nationally. I am not even sure locally, either. www.pensburgh.com/analysis/734...

Yeah, it’s been interesting reading about the arguments in local politics.
I haven’t carried for over a decade and I’m not sure I ever want to again.
Reading the Ambrose biography (I know I know) and reading about his “sympathies for the Southern Cause” reminded me never to put people on a pedestal.
Actions speak though, and he did take action, even if it was forced.
💯 endorsed

Kehoe, 9 (1974-75 to 1982-83)
Pronovost, 9 (1969-70 to 1977-78)
Geno, 7 (2013-14 to 2019-20)
Guentzel, 7 (2017-18 to 2023-24)

I rec’d an email from the Imperial War Museum promoting mother’s day gifts. Three top writers and historians, @sarahloumiller.bsky.social @claremulley.bsky.social and Helen Fry (not of this parish). Three great books.
