Ryan Heyden

Historian friends! I’m excited to be teaching a course in September on the history of Nazi Germany. Would love to hear from you on the latest teaching resources that have your students engaged right now? And any other tips you want to offer. Thx!

@juliairwin Thank you!

@Ryan_Heyden Happy birthday!

@elisabmpiller I’ll never forget birthday celebrations with the GHRA crew in Exeter - 2018!

@Ryan_Heyden Happy birthday, Ryan!!!

*screams in basic gay boi*

New season hitting all the right notes of comedy and drama - and the power and pain of competing ambition. Masterclass.

Today, North York Community Council approved my motion to commemorate the late Councillor Jaye Robinson by naming a park in her honour. The new Jaye Robinson Park, in Lawrence Park Ravine, will be a testament to her extraordinary leadership and lasting impact on our city.

Amazing opportunity to work on critical questions on blockades and their consequences that stretch from foreign policy, activism, to daily life. And the opportunity to work with an amazing scholar! I have learned so so much from Elisabeth over the years. Strong, strong recommend.

@elisabmpiller @deanhummac Vielen Dank! 🙏

Yesterday it became officially official! Doctor of Philosophy (in History) 🎓 More here: dailynews.mcmaster.ca/articles/good-…

The biggest shout to my doctoral advisor, Dr. Pamela Swett. She is the model mentor and teacher - letting me make mistakes along the way and grow. She also patiently tempered my flair for the dramatic when I felt stuck or frustrated, always offering sound advice. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥳🎉

I am forever grateful to the organizations, teachers, colleagues, and family / friends who supported me along the way:

I am very excited to share that yesterday, September 12, 2024, I successfully defended my doctoral thesis!

@MargotTudor @SHAFRConference Congrats! Well deserved :)

the algorithm odds were in my favour & i have been awarded a BA/Leverhulme small grant for my 2nd book on post-Suez peacekeeping identities, military masculinities & field-based lives/interactions🇺🇳 can't wait to be back in the US to visit pals, UN archives, and @SHAFRConference

@elisabmpiller Couldn’t have done it without you reading several drafts of chapters!

Dissertation sent off for external review today, defence is set, and the sun is shining 😇

@juliairwin Thank you!

@Ryan_Heyden Congratulations!! 🥂

Hundreds of pages later, thousands of footnotes, and years of torment, and I am having writer's block on the "lay abstract" for my dissertation's final draft.

I usually reserve this account for my role as dean, but I wanted to announce that examination copies are now available of a new textbook I co-authored with Jonathan Wiesen. We're really proud of how it turned out. @BloomsburyPub #GermanHistory bloomsbury.com/us/nazi-german…
