Since folks still tell me this was useful advice, I'll mention that it's a good idea to read the student newspaper at places you are considering taking a job. One of the best ways to actually get to know what's happening on campus.

Talking recently to family members of people snatched up and expelled to third countries by ICE, I learned: 1) All of those captured were in 287(g) jurisdictions; 2) None of the family members had known what 287(g) was and had erroneously thought people with no arrests were safe.

What if we raised some funds for Ashley while she’s in the hospital? Between the house stuff and the ambulance ride, I know some financial support could go a long way for Ashley and her family. Let’s put a 👑 in the memo and I can forward funds to Ashley: V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel

I am thrilled to announce that the American Studies Program at Boston University will be accepting new PhD Students for the 27/28 academic year. These are fully funded, unionized, 5-year positions, with 4 semesters of guaranteed dissertation fellowship in years 4 & 5.

Application Deadline: December 15, 2026
The American Studies Program at Boston University is a nationally recognized leader in the interdisciplinary field of American Studies. Our students and faculty study the disparate yet interconnected cultures of colonial North America and the United States as seen in the ideas and actions of its people, and as expressed in a range of forms, especially culture, the arts, media, literature, and institutions - often seen through a global or transnational lens. Formerly known as the American & New England Studies Program, we maintain active collaborations with many cultural institutions in the region, especially in the Boston Area. Our large PhD program has produced tenure-track protessors, public historians, museum curators, and directors at major universities, museums, and other cultural and historical institutions.
Funding Opportunities
PhD students receive full funding for up to five years (12 months a year) under a collective bargaining agreement. During this time, they take courses, teach in their fields and disciplines of interest, and develop and write dissertations. The fellowship package guarantees four semesters of dissertation fellowship in years 4 and 5, with no service obligations Additional funding is available from Boston University for travel to conferences, for archival research, and for internships.
Current students have recently received outside fellowships from the Fulbright Foundation, the American Antiquarian Society, the Massachusetts Historical Society, the Huntington Library, the Smithsonian Institution, the Beinecke Library, the Corning Museum of Glass, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, and the American Historical Association.
Graduate Student Association
The Program's own independent Graduate Student Association (GSA) is comprised of elected PhD students who sponsor events and programs for developing professional skills, while representing our students' interests to the governing faculty.
A list of affiliate faculty, available also on the program’s webpage

How strange and fitting that my feed is being intertwined with 9/11 and Bayeux Tapestry (depicting the Norman Conquest) reflections. Events a thousand years apart, but both radically changing the countries they occurred in and the world. Both affecting every day lives, not just world history.

A picture of s. e. smith’s book “all my dead cats” with a bookmark from my Texas local bookstore (Village Books in The Woodlands, TX) that has a drawing of the bookstore dog Oso’s face and the text “Oso, the bookshop dog” with an arrow pointing at the drawing. Then below that, the text “Oh so, you stopped reading here” with an arrow pointing toward the bottom of the bookmark. Also, Teresa, the bookstore owner, has written a speech bubble next to Oso’s mouth that has him saying, “We miss you!”
