@GregoryDaddis @TanyaHarmer I’m honored. Boyer left us with a lot to think about!

@saraherobey @TanyaHarmer It's great, Sarah. A worthy successor to Boyer and a nuanced argument on Cold War citizenship. Congrats on a really fine piece of scholarship!

Next five down on the pro reading list, Cold War edition, thanks to some England train rides. @TanyaHarmer is so, so good on Chile, as is @saraherobey on nuclear citizenship. Highly recommend both. May still holds up. Has there ever been a more paranoid policy paper than NSC-68?

I can't unsee this now

En route to #SHOT2022 in NOLA! Hope to see some of you there!

Context: I am teaching a MA-level research/writing seminar next semester. Students will all be working on different written products (not all theses), but I want to focus our discussions on craft and what makes for good writing.

Calling #twitterstorians: what book made you think “now THIS is what historic writing can be!” Suggestions for monographs, methods texts, how-to guides, etc all welcome.

@melanienewport Dialing @MarieStango into this very important conversation

Sixty years ago today, the Cuban Missile Crisis came to a peaceful conclusion. A terrifying episode, no doubt. But what was it like for Americans to live through it? My new piece for @processhistory processhistory.org/robey-cuban-mi…

@dskamper @CONELRAD6401240 I mean, technically he grew up in Bloomington, but who’s counting?

@CONELRAD6401240 @saraherobey What I want to know is how a guy from Libertyville ended up with that accent.

Hey @saraherobey, do you know when and where Adlai Stevenson's "Nuclear Test Ban" campaign film was broadcast? I assume it was during the fall '56 general election campaign? Do you have an exact date? youtu.be/VL1d7htLce8

@CONELRAD6401240 Probably early October—it was late in the campaign, but there are several news stories about his test ban platform that ran Oct. 16-17, so likely just before then. The @muddlibrary might know for sure!

@daddo_ors I often assign Crosby’s Children of the Sun for the big overview. It’s very approachable (and brief), but great for setting students up as we work through more focused monographs

Question for fellow historians and energy experts... Could you suggest a couple of books that offer a long and wide historical overview of energy sources and production? PM me please... thanks a lot!

@michaelmcgandy @USCPress @auroraxbell @HistoryGuy111 @tolan_kerri @LilyStephens13 @aupresses Congratulations!!

The thrill is all mine, ... and I am so grateful for the chance to work with such great @USCPress colleagues, including those on Twitter @auroraxbell @HistoryGuy111 @tolan_kerri and @LilyStephens13. Cannot wait for Monday! #amediting @aupresses

Russia's reverses in Ukraine and Putin's nuclear saber-rattling have stoked anxieties that Russia might use its non-strategic nuclear weapons. An under-appreciated consideration is that we can't predict the physical consequences of such an attack confidently. 1/25

@Prof_LMacDonald So, like, 5 days from now

My university has started requiring 3-, 6-, and 8-wk progress reports for lower division courses as a student support mechanism (good, fine). Added bonus: it’s also a particularly good way to make faculty feel even more behind on grading!

Don’t forget to check you calendar for this Wednesday! Join the College of Arts and Letter’s Humanitites Cafe for a talk about Music and Culture.
