@RobertFitz74 @UNC_Press @Lucas_Church @BedenbaughT @HartmanAndrew Congrats!🍾

A surreal moment when these showed up in the mail last week. Thanks to @UNC_Press @Lucas_Church @BedenbaughT for all their work to see this through to fruition. And always thanks to @HartmanAndrew for the support. #punk

@Joan_E_Redmond @cambUP_History Congratulations! Can’t wait to read it!

I'm delighted to be able to say that my book, 'Religion, Rebellion and Violence in Ireland, c. 1603-1649' will be published by @cambUP_History in its Studies in Early Modern British History series. Publication date tbc but likely early 2026. #twitterstorians #earlymodern

"I see organizing as both pragmatic & transformative. Our contract will make living & working at ISU more sustainable & more human. But also, organizing together changes our sense of what is possible. How will we learn to have power in the world if we cannot build it locally, in our workplaces? How will we learn to have solidarity across difference, & to value others in & for themselves, if we cannot do it locally, with people we know?" -- my comrade Camille Cole in @jacobin.

If you read the New York Times, it might seem like the crisis of higher education is primarily a crisis of elite private institutions. But the real crises — and the real opportunities for change — are in the public sector. jacobin.com/2025/03/illino…

Come on the 19th and hear from some of my union siblings about how we organized our union and our ongoing fight for a fair contract.

@dbessner My preference is to go to Atlantic City. It gets you property and entertainment (via the casino and Miss America) and ties both to narratives of American decline and rebirth. It also allows for a feeling of distance from NYC into “real America”

@Niamh_NicGhabh GRMA. Very kind of you to listen. I’m glad that it’s been productive to think with and I’m so grateful to the conference for indulging a keynote that tried to set early modern Ireland into a much broader context

@ellen_nye @HarvardHBS @historyatpurdue Congratulations! Very well deserved!

Delighted to have started term as the History of Capitalism Fellow @HarvardHBS. And even more pleased to be joining @historyatpurdue as an Assistant Professor. Very much looking forward to the next two years at Harvard and to being back on Purdue's campus in 2026!

Sign the petition and demand MSU Board of Trustees to recognize UTSF by its Sept. 6 meeting: rb.gy/kzr3ha You don't need to be MSU faculty to sign and support our efforts. Anyone can do 🙏 #UnionNow

Thrilled to welcome Dr. Matthijs Tieleman to the History Department. His expertise in Early American History, Atlantic History, American Revolution, U.S. Constitution, Early Modern Europe, the Enlightenment, and Political history will be an outstanding addition to our team.

New book from my friend @RobertFitz74, coming soon with @UNC_Press. As a punk fan and Reagan hater, this book is tailor-made for me--and I assume I am not alone.

“Memories of Early Modern Deforestation and Modern Irish Forest Policy” by Keith Pluymers @KDPluymers nacbs.org/post/memories-…

@CarolineEGrego There’s a good essay in this edited volume on just that topic. Could make for a good starting place for your own thoughts (which I’ll be eager to read) uscpress.com/Port-Cities-of…

Congratulations to @HayleyNegrin, who won the @ASEH_org's Leopold-Hidy Prize for best article in Environmental History. The article, "Return to the Yeokanta/River: Powhatan Women and Environmental Treaty Making in Early America" is free until July 1. @ChicagoJournals journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.10…

Her books have been so important to how my comrades and I organized our union and how we’ve approached bargaining our first contract. The world will be poorer in her absence but I firmly believe that her words will continue to ignite fires as workers fight for justice.

@ScoutBlum @CMICH_GAMES Congratulations 🍾

@DollyJorgensen Congrats, Dolly. This will be perfect for the grad class I’m teaching this fall

@mfkantor @UNC_Press Congrats 🍾 Can’t wait to read it.
