#historianatwork — Public Fediverse posts

I got one student (out of 16) to volunteer at a Naturalization Ceremony in downtown Worcester, helping usher as ~600 people were naturalized. She said it was the highlight of her day and was so glad I mentioned the opportunity in class. Calling this a MAJOR teaching win! #citizennation #pedagogy #teaching #highered #volunteering #civics #citizenship #historianatwork #histodons

Needing a couple videos of a college-level history course, for my Teaching History students to deconstruct and analyze. There are surprisingly few posted online. I'll probably use one from @jbf1755's excellent Yale Open Courses American Revolution -- as a masterclass in lecturing. (Joanne, how many students were in that lecture hall, more or less?)

Lunchtime reading today: Jeanne Theoharis’s fierce intro to her book A More Beautiful and Terrible History. This after a lecture in Citizen Nation about race in immigration law based on Mae Ngai’s work. #histodons #teaching #pedagogy #historianatwork #civilrightshistory #womenalsoknowhistory
