American Studies at Georgetown

Congratulations to our loudest and proudest on their 𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒂𝒍 celebration today! We ❤️️ @GUPepBand! #HoyaSaxa

Hey @Georgetown: Join me, Meg Leta Jones, and Kate Chandler--two of our most awesome colleagues, also smart enough to avoid Twitter--for a convo on my new book on Monday, 4/11, IRL in @TheLannanCenter. cc: @GU_ENGL @GeorgetownAMST @GeorgetownCPT

I talked with the BBC ⁦@HistoryExtra⁩ about the history of wiretapping and electronic surveillance. Listen in 🍸 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wir…

Hello @Georgetown: please join us for the 2022 @GeorgetownAMST Richardson Lecture, featuring the brilliant @ithacamcg. Mon, April 25//4:30 PM. Not to be missed!

Meet Smithsonian Sunburst 175th, an orchid celebrating our #Smithsonian175. It is the result of careful breeding by generations of orchid growers starting in 1895. This beauty is an example of the hard work and care for which our @SIGardens team is known.

Is there ever a weirder and funnier moment than when an AMST class takes a sharp turn into really caring about what imported english pigs did? Nope.

My book THE LISTENERS: A HISTORY OF WIRETAPPING IN THE UNITED STATES is now available for pre-order from @Harvard_Press. Get your copy before my mom buys them all! amazon.com/Listeners-Hist…

Dear Students— I am sorry to report that our first class meeting is canceled. My work pants, which I have not worn since March 2020, no longer fit. Best wishes, BH

Thank you so much, Eric!!!!

One of my students, Yaritza Aguilar (C’22), was recognized by @gtownlibrary w/the Voters' Choice Award for her amazing StoryMap for my spring '21 History of American Gentrification course (@GeorgetownAMST @GUHistory) on “Community Control & Gentrification in NYC.” Go Yaritza!
