I love Dorothy Cobble's "For the Many" and Patricia Romney's "We Were There"! There's also some great recent work on feminism and US imperialism like "Christian Imperial Feminism" by Gale Kenny and "The Feminist Pacific" by Rumi Yasutake :)

“The push to make Canada part of the U.S. reached a fever pitch following passage of the highly protectionist McKinley Tariff in 1890.” For @time.com I discuss the last time the GOP tried to use tariffs to annex Canada. *spoiler: it didn’t go well time.com/7212675/tari...

Using Tariffs to Try to Annex Canada Backfired in the 1890s

Instead of compelling Canada to become an American state, the 1890 McKinley Tariff drove Canada into British hands.

I read Moby-Dick last year expecting to be bored out of my mind and I think it might now be one of my favourite books and I legitimately think about it alot!

Slightly different but Mati Diop's film "Dahomey" is great and I think could spark conversation with students! The edited collection "Museum Activism" by Janes and Sandell has some good essays as well 😀

it's amazing that it's 2023 and women's papers are still listed as "miscellany" in their husband's archives

I had a great time at the Peace History Society Conference this weekend! Thrilled to have presented my research on Dorothy Day and Judith Malina's anti-civil defense actions in the 50s and 60s!

Zombie Studies might be of interest? Off the top of my head: Zombie Talk ed. by David Castillo et al or "Slaves, Cannibals, and Infected Hyper-Whites: The Race and Religion of Zombies" by Elizabeth McAlister. (Though not sure if they're all historians!)

CFP: What is the past, present, and future of feminist and queer archival practice? I am thrilled to be editing "The Archival is Political" for @IRWRutgers -- deadline for submissions is December 15, 2023. Please be in touch with any questions!

CFP The Archival is Political We invite interdisciplinary submissions that address the “archival turn” in feminist and queer studies. Submissions may include essays, commentary, criticism, fiction, poetry, and artwork from any discipline. We particularly welcome work that connects archival practice to activism, whether this be archival collections focused on activist history or archival collection as a political project for historical redress. Other topics may include digital archives, fictional archives, archival silences and violence, archival management, and information sciences. Together these contributions will reflect the contradictions of, and aspirations for, feminist and queer archives.
For manuscript preparation details, please see our website at: https://irw.rutgers.edu/about-rejoinder Please send completed written work (2,000-2,500 words max), jpegs of artwork, and short bios to irw@sas.rutgers.edu with “Rejoinder Submission” in the subject line by December 15, 2023.
