I’m teaching a workshop this weekend about how historians research. #Skystorians, what are your favorite or most important research tips and tricks? What is your favorite method for finding archives and archival material?

Do any of my Native history/studies, museum/public history friends have connections with a THPO? I'm hoping to speak with someone who has experience or interest in digital repatriation, particularly questions surrounding the digitization, stewardship, + access of Native American cultural materials.

FWIW this isn’t about effects on scholarship so much as ppl. It’s ridiculous to req scholars to generate a book-length argument that other scholars say makes an original contribution to a specialized field AND is deemed marketable enough to whomever to merit publication w/in a set window of time.

Today my book (The Limits of Revolution: Worker Citizens in a Bolivian Mining City) comes out from the @utexaspress.bsky.social, so I thought I'd share a little snippet from my conclusion that I am very proud of.

Text from the book: "The photograph, while emblematic of worker heroism of the 1970s, also asks us to consider: Who made him that sweater so that he could wear it in front of a watching world, as Bolivia made itself revolutionary once again? How many hours were spent preparing this gift that would keep its bearer warm in the chill of May in the altiplano? Whose wool, from whose llamas or sheep, was knit in whose company housing in order to help this worker celebrate the workers' festival alongside his comrades? Under lamplight provided by which mining company generator or pulpería-bought kerosine? Although the subject is a portrait of revolutionary masculinity, this photograph makes visible the indispensable communities and networks that sustained worker politics and revolutionary vushone across the twentieth century, whether or not the people who made them possible marched with the union.

A Bolivian labor activist sits astride a motorcycle in front of May Day Marchers in 1971. He wears sunglasses, a fantastic wool sweater that reads Bolivia Saluda Mundo and a miner's helmet.
