Check out my episode of the American Historical Review's podcast series, "State of the Field for Busy Teachers." I talk about how to make K-12 and undergrad survey history education LGBTQ-inclusive and some great places to start.

Proud to be a featured speaker next week at the @oneinstitute.org symposium for K-12 educators. It's essential not to obey in advance to the SCOTUS Mahmoud ruling. There are so many compelling ways to do LGBTQ-inclusive history education in all grades! www.oneinstitute.org/july-7-8-202...

We need answers—now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justice—this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release. Read more: 48hills.org/2025/06/drag...

Happy to talk about CA's LGBTQ-inclusive History-Social Science Framework. Check out the One Institute's new collaborative K-12 lesson plans--now more than ever. (Wish the journalist had mentioned my new book: Contested Curriculum: LGBTQ History Goes to School, but glad the word's getting out!)

(long🧵) Watching some gays & lesbians celebrate that heinous UK Court ruling against trans women has me again thinking about how little most gay people know about their own history. No, I'm not rehashing if trans people were at Stonewall (they were). I'm talking about the long arc of what it even...

We have to make the case for why inclusive history education matters, to survive this moment and its systematic erasures. It has to happen in classrooms, curriculum, ed materials, policy, and law. From Contested Curriculum: LGBTQ History Goes to School ( @rutgersupress.bsky.social ) bit.ly/4iHiz81

This text from the introduction to Contested Curriculum:LGBTQ History Goes to School (Rutgers UP, 2025) makes the case for all the work LGBTQ-inclusive history education does.
