Trevor R. Nelson (He/Him)

A title slide for a presentation. Text reads "Go Your Own Way: Sound, Spectacle, and Mid-Twentieth Century Commonwealth Celebrations. Trevor R. Nelson, Ph.D., Wichita State University, trevor.nelson@wichita.edu, UMKC Friday Forum." There is a Black and White image of the inside of a gothic cathedral filled with chairs.

Headed up to UMKC today to share some new archival findings that might make their way into the book.

This Faculty Senate meeting is spicier than the last Traitors roundtable.

The way I was SCREAMING at the television this morning watching this.

All I have done today is yell “wow are they okay? Are they trying to hurt themself?” while watching Ski Jumping.

Just submitted an article to a journal, so I'll be having cake for breakfast.

I get that libraries are moving to eBooks. But when the eBook doesn't include what page in the physical book I am "looking" at, or the page numbers don't match at all, I get very concerned. 🤬

I’m just glad we’re in the snow areas and not the ice area!

Nope

Wichita State is hosting Model UN and I just have to hold myself back from sneaking in to ensure Moon representation.

So my neighbor had an outdoor cat who looks nearly identical to my very much indoor cat. And I had my workout for the day just now sprinting though my yard

My partner’s things arrived the day before the semester starts. I’m so glad he’s here but…everything is fine 🙃🙃

When does the Heated Rivalry reenactment begin?

There is no better investment than professional movers.

First day back from break and I can't log into Blackboard. Guess I can ignore the impending semester some more!

Can he work on this instead?

I hate moving but after two years of long distance, my partner and I are moving into this adorable house here in Wichita.

Why Do Historians Still Have To Go To Archives? Why do historians go to archives? Hasn’t everything already been digitized?

Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

Instead of watching the speech, I’m at DFW waiting on a mechanical delay. Not sure which is worse.

As I sit at DFW, hoping that flights don’t continue to get delayed, I can only try to Tap Into My (Fort) Worth

Okay so had some flight changes before I even left Kansas. Now “should” be in NC by 10:30 pm (rather than the planned 4:30 pm)

Let’s play will American Airlines get me to North Carolina today. So far, chances don’t look so hot.

So, not everyone can apply everywhere. As a white cis gay male, I felt okay about applying to a job in Kansas, but only in a large city. But why do I get the sense these guys were “Coastal R1 or bust”?

While I wish @joycedidonato.bsky.social could have been here in person, I’m still so glad I got to hear her commencement address. Value process, value humility, value service, value joy.

This is also why I *always* tell my students to double check the math on all grades. I will make mistakes and I am always happy to make them right!

I was worried that all of my students were doing poorly on their exam, but then I rechecked my math and the points total only added up to 90. Guess everyone is getting 10 points for writing their name!
