History majors have lower unemployment than computer science majors.

Folks with humanities graduate degrees are more sought after by corporate recruiters than those with MBAs.

Study history! Get a job!

K-16 history conversations and commitment to high quality history education at all levels are so important right now - to gain new majors, increase historically literacy, gain respect for what we do. We do that by working WITH and supporting teachers!

Also: read and cite and engage African history!

Honored to be included @historians.org and thrilled to be able to hype amazing colleagues like Trevor Getz and Jonathan Roberts who’ve been building stellar resources and support for this work for a long time.

Very excited about this miniseries and honored to be part of it! Thanks so much @danieljstory.bsky.social

I don’t even know what’s happening and I’m blocked. Did everyone with “historian” in their bio get targeted?

Oh for sure! Love completion presents!

Ahhh! Happy birthday, friend!!!

Excited for this @hofrench.bsky.social

As I start yet another new academic year in what feels like chaos, I keep remembering to ground myself in things that are real and take time to breathe and think.

The Political Giant the West Forgot Kwame Nkrumah’s life demonstrates that the end of colonial rule in Africa is central to modern history.

Delighted to share this essay adopted from my new book, The Second Emancipation, out in two weeks and available for pre-order now. foreignpolicy.com/2025/08/08/s...

I did it for both books! But it’s a commitment lol

I also sometimes read it out loud!

Excellent!!!

And have a tendency to list things… :)

I love an em dash

Aww thank you!!! Looking forward to reading yours!!!

And massive thanks to my Ghanaian colleagues Tracy Mensah, Aisha Nelson, Harry Odamtten, and Jacob Tetteh Ashong who helped me parse the meaning of Ga words for “neighbor” and ensure that I could make an argument that was both nuanced AND correct!

Excited to see this article out at last, part of a special issue edited by @aselmeyer.bsky.social and Avner Ofrath and growing out of a fantastic conference they organized several years ago! Grateful for the chance to think about my work in a new way and learn from such interesting scholars!
