I think my time on this platform is coming to a close. Feel free to find me on other social media. My handle tends to be @LauraJuneDavis .

Back home from an awesome #2024SHA (and #2024WHA) . It was great seeing so many friends, hearing from amazing scholars, and attending @SoCWHistorians and @SAWH1970 events. See you in St. Pete Beach if not sooner

ATTENTION! There has been a location change for the SAWH Awards and Keynote Address. We will now be meeting in Century C (Next to the #2024SHA Book Exhibit) We will still meet at Bentons on the 20th floor for the Reception. Please spread the word!

Attending #2024SHA? Today is the day! 8am: SAWH Member and Graduate Student Breakfast in Washington Park II 4:30pm: SAWH Annual Address given by Karen Cox in Benton's (Top Floor of the Westin)

Yesterday, my @CSUHistoryGP Georgia Hist class took a tour of @Port_Columbus courtesy of an Experiential Learning Grant. They learned about naval history, Civil War industrialization, the war's impact on Columbus, & material culture. They saw some artifacts & the archives.

We're looking for table leads for the Grad Student Lunch at the Annual Meeting (10/25, 12:30-1:30) to lead discussions on topics important to graduate students. If interested, please email your name and topic to: shagraduatecouncil@gmail.com @TheSouthernSHA @WHAGrads

@shuffard Glad u r ok

cell service is spotty but made it through the storm safely. However, Beech Mountain is totally cut off, power is out, and trees are down everywhere. My house even gained a new porch decoration 😐

#hurricanehelene shifted enough to the East that we fared better than anticipated. We got some rain and 1 tiny tree knocked over but overall, we are in good shape. No School today for anyone so just chilling with my boys. Hoping that everyone in the path stays safe and dry!

@AnnLTucker You too!

@LauraJuneDavis Good luck!!

We are hunkering down for Helene. Lots of snacks & drinks 4 the kiddos, Xtra water, xtra ice, devices charging, Full tank of gas, Bathtub full of water, flashlights & candles, & Emergency chocolate The next 18 hours will be telling. Send positive vibes and prayers our way

I am thrilled that my book A City Without Care won Honorable Mention for the @UrbanHistoryA 's Joe William Trotter, Jr. Prize for Best First Book in Urban History.

Today, the AHA published a major report with findings from the most comprehensive study of secondary US history education undertaken in the 21st century. The AHA did not find indoctrination, politicization, or classroom malpractice. (1/10) historians.org/teaching-learn…
