Very good thread. I’ll add that we can’t only pressure our admin to lead this. We have to figure out how to make our cases directly to the public while we try to get our university leaders to use their far bigger microphones to do the same

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

If you want to DM me your email I can send a list of stuff, mainly primary as sadly the secondary literature is in a sorry state :) I would be thrilled to make myself available anytime for this sort of stuff though!

Sadly the survey history of higher ed category is sorely lacking a non-ivy focused survey text which is up to date. Even Rudolph which focuses on Land-Grants is terribly out of date (1960s)

Thelin is an interesting source but it often preferences the experience of a tiny handful of elite academic institutions and ignores the complex web occurring at state and regional institutions public and private.

Pretty rich for the AHA to champion its "advocacy" efforts when its leadership has consistently stifled any criticism of the ongoing scholasticide in Gaza. 🗃️

What Are American Students Learning about US History? - AHA Since 2020, a contentious debate over history education has generated outrage, wild claims, and a growing sense of alarm in homes and communities across the country. State legislators, school board me...

In 2022, the AHA launched the most comprehensive study of the national US history teaching landscape undertaken in the 21st century. We wanted to know what is actually happening in public school classrooms across the country. Find out what we learned. 🗃️

Pittsburgh’s first queer history landmark is up for review Efforts to preserve the shuttered Donny’s Place in Polish Hill will go to the Pittsburgh Historic Review Commission in February.

Today the Pittsburgh Historic Review Commission holds a hearing to vote on whether the former Donny's Place bar should become the city's first LGBTQ+ historic site. It's the first in a hearing cycle that ends in City Council. From January: www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-q... 🗃️

This was an extremely timely AMA - check out the questions and responses here!

Today would have been the 52nd anniversary of Roe V. Wade, had it not been overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022.

What kind of justification is "this is outside our scope"? Abdicating the moral imperative implicit in being a so-called expert is such a disappointing and unsurprising look. History seems to still be enamored with the myth of non political education.

Ty! Ready to get to some good work!

TYSM! I am so excited!!!

Yesterday I got accepted to a PhD program in Education Policy here at UIUC. Once upon a time I graduated undergrad with a 2.3 GPA on academic probation. Just a penniless kid from nowhere rural GA. Excited, nervous, ready to get to it.

The tendency amongst educators and students to view each other as threats in need of management instead of people is so sad. What if we tried to break down hierarchical relationships built on dominance and be good to each other? What a world it could be!

If you spend any time on r/Professors on reddit you will see that lack of empathy and feelings of hostility towards students are absolutely rampant amongst the professoriate. It should come as no surprise that professors who care produce better results for their pupils.

This scandal was part of the reason for the shadowy midnight firing of University of Illinois president George Stoddard lead by then trustee Red Graner (The same of football fame). Its a very interesting chapter in university history.

AOC: Trans girls are girls. And for all the folks that are so concerned, thank you for your concern for women for the first time. I don't know who has been to gym class, I’ve played co-ed sports all the time

Meanwhile, South Carolina is getting ready to dedicate a monument in honor of Robert Smalls. Mississippi is working toward replacing the Jefferson Davis statue inside Statuary Hall in the Capitol Building. Hegseth is just repeating Trump. Nothing to see here. The real change continues apace. 🗃️

We have choked the life out of Liberal Arts and now we are cheering on STEM absorbing them....

Did they ever think about the plain contrast between their twin educations, military and liberal? How did they reconcile the looming weapons on campus silently menacing, reminding them of the, at the time at least, seemingly certain end of the world. 2/2

This picture lives rent free in my head. Courtesy of the UIUC Archives online photo collection pictured here is a missile, type uncertain to me, outside the Armory building on campus in school year 60-61. Did the young men forced to do military training consider it? #highered #history #UIUC 🧵/2

RIP Pinto Bean. Gone but never forgotten.

Aggie Football is the most horrible relationship I have ever been in. Honestly heartbroken rn #aggie #tamu #collegefootball

Reflective in the aftermath of #ASHE2024 my session was well received I am closer than ever to getting the discussion of Imperialism, CMT, and the Land-Grant out. On the other hand the number of times someone immediately lost interest upon learning I am a master student...
