For the first time since I defended my dissertation a decade ago, I’m back on the Rice campus. Excited to do a couple guest lectures/seminar discussion and a public book talk over the next few days!

Happy Labor Day! A great way to catch up on recent publications in southern labor history — and on southern history in all fields — is the JSH annual bibliography, "Southern History in Periodicals." Check out the 2025 Bib in the May 2026 JSH (Vol. 92, pp. 335–402): muse.jhu.edu/pub/285/arti...

Looking for a chapter or article about enslaved women that will actually work well with baby undergrad students. Please recommend any that you've actually used - not one you think or guess might work well. Can be of any vintage, since these are students with no prior experience/knowledge

My fellow historians, which single academic article of yours do you think 'teaches best', i.e. for both staff and students it's doing work that leads to a strong class discussion + students remember it? I am interested in how people see their own work. I'll go first. Hit reply and link your pick!
