Grading help is here

@jjponcevazquez I was just telling a student about the old version's weird issues yesterday! Cool to see something new.

Reminder for all those boardgames out there that a new beautiful non-racist version of the game Puerto Rico (named Puerto Rico 1897) is now been crowdfunded. I am so happy to get it so I can play this game again (could not stomach the old version) gamefound.com/en/projects/aw…

@ThiagoKrause2 @Hist_MichaelB @mercadomontero @LGMorenoA Haha, a link to my personal website--better update it real quick!! 🥲

@JasonJacobyLee @tomzoellner @ThePublicSquare Thank you for writing this! My daughter is afraid of dogs and the owner shouting "Oh, but she's friendly!" as the dog jumps up on her doesn't fix the issue.

I have non speaking #autism but I am not stupid--despite what the doctors told my parents. Here is my first essay ever on why leash laws are a #disabilityrights issue Thanks @tomzoellner + @ThePublicSquare zocalopublicsquare.org/2024/08/29/im-…

Job reminder, all! We are hiring a Latin Americanist and the deadline is an early one! Please direct any equations my way.

@csschmitt1 Congrats! Can't wait to read it!

Absolutely terrified but excited to submit the final draft of my book to the press. It's hard to let go but it's time for this thing to be off my desk!

@RoperLou Ha!!!

@RoperLou Where do I buy the entire look here?

@drewmckevitt I used to work at a software company that hired people with degrees in anything except business.

@keithdorejel It's so much harder than you might think, Keith!

I’m already married but if you have a British passport and think you can get me out of America after the election then DMs are open.

@RoperLou @deborah_hamer @csschmitt1 @jjponcevazquez @spacey_lords @DavidVeevers1 Well it started out as an article but morphed into random notes on sources. A lot of it will be in the book, though!

@RoperLou @deborah_hamer @csschmitt1 @jjponcevazquez @spacey_lords @DavidVeevers1 I have a document on my computer titled "Guiana at the Center of the World" so I will definitely check out this book!

Dear all, the moment you have awaited is here: the CFP for @SECOLAS_org conference 2025 in Mexico City. Calling all Latin Americanists, and I am especially looking at you colonialists! Please submit a proposal! secolas.org/updates/call-f…

@keithdorejel I still have all the Ibids 🥲

Copy and pasting citations from my dissertation and removing the city of publisher.

@SharikaCrawfo17 Thank you for sharing it!

Job opportunity 👇

@Beery_maps See the disclaimers above, but I would guess at least 70k. Laramie is a lot cheaper than CO, and with no state income tax. You could certainly email my chair with more questions, though, as he is also the head of the search committee.

@ook_wow Does it have a salary range?

@keithdorejel It's a state of mind, Keith! Just apply!

@ook_wow Define….West.

Another job! We are also hiring a historian of Wyoming and the US West. It's at the assistant level, but a named professorship with a *2:1* teaching load. Again, if you have any questions, please get in touch. eeik.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

@HerbertHistory I am honestly not sure, as this job is unusual, but I would guess at least 70k? Laramie is fairly affordable and Wyoming doesn't have state income tax.

Also, a bonus that might interest Latin Americanists: Laramie offers dual-language immersion (Spanish/English) in a K-5 public elementary school. My kid goes there, so I'm happy to answer questions about that, too.

I am really thrilled to share that we are running a search for an Asst. Prof. of Latin American History! Check out the ad, please share, and let me know if you have any questions about the job, our department, university, or anything else. eeik.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…
