Great historical fiction abt #Brazil for the win! See Jungle of Ashes (Brynn Barineau). Set in #Fordlândia, Henry Ford's ill-fated company town. A well-researched, accessible coming-of-age read. Excited to share w/ students! @clahistorians.bsky.social @thewha.bsky.social @theherstorian.bsky.social

About a month to go until the release of The Battle for Brazil, so over the weekend I got a little productive #oldschool

Well, that was fun! Whirlwind #NCSS2024 Highlights included the Remedial Herstorian Project and to "Reframe Revolutions" from @bramhubbell.bsky.social @mrshistorylee.bsky.social and @erbeckman.bsky.social. Nice to hear @liberatingnarrs.bsky.social and @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social get kudos, too

Unreasonably excited to share my research journey & method, this time w/IB HOTA and TOK students at Bay Shore HS, my once-upon-a- "home." Tomorrow can't come fast enough... for anyone, I imagine! #DutchBrazil #resistance #edusky #sschat #iteachsocialstudies

Bearing down hard on my monograph (last chapter!!), but always happy to get out there and talk history. Let's bring more folks along! Was glad to have been invited back for a Woodstock Cultural Arts Ctr Tie-In Talk. Here with brilliant director/curator Nicole Lampl. woodstockarts.org/events/exhib...
