Happy #WonderWoman Day! For a single character to have an 84 year legacy is a testament to our cultural belief in, and love for, the superheroine. Her stories are our history and I’m ever eager to see what she becomes next. Here’s to the Amazon of Paradise Island and all she’s been thus far! 💙💫❤️

So thrilled to have contributed to @oah.org’s “The American Historian” magazine! The lesson that this article draws from has been one of my favorite to teach over the last several years— thank you @drmendozan.bsky.social for the opportunity to share this in your classroom and beyond!

The third article is by my colleague, Tom Zeiler, and it describes the development of internationalism in the postwar period.

The second article is written by one of our grad students, @violaburlew.bsky.social, and is an excellent piece on how to teach about race during the war through visual analysis of propaganda posters (she's taught this in my WWII class--it's excellent!).

My article "Wartime Race Politics in the World War II Era" describes the political landscape that is the setting of my book GOOD NEIGHBOR AT HOME: MEXICAN AMERICAN POLITICS IN THE WORLD WAR II ERA.

The envious spark I have when I see people reviewing new comic releases! Whatever career moves I need to make to start being an advanced reader for those books, I’d like to start making them now!
