My book has a cover! That means it's basically real, right? Coming this winter and hoping to showcase some physical copies at #AHA2023 #AHA23!

Any suggestions?

I think that the “death of history” op-ed in the NY Times reflects our collective state of mind about academic history. But it’s a much broader field and I feel it’s becoming more (not less) professionalized. Small historical societies and museums, for instance, digital, media. Imho #AHA23 showed remarkable vitality. I wonder what fellow @histodons think— I’m often in the “half full” side of things.

@DrLindseyFitzharris Terrifying! A book on the history of syphilis, timed for the centenary of the discovery of penicillin, seems like a book waiting for an author...

In related news, I have finally acquired a copy of The Facemaker, part of a terrifyingly pile of books I picked up at #AHA23.

My favorite thing about #aha23? The selfies!

I wrote up a longer version of my #AHA23 presentation on one of the "The Historian as Storyteller" roundtables. We were thrilled to have two full audiences (standing-room only for one of the panels!) #Histodons #Twitterstorians #PublicHistory #History #AmWriting

It's HAG live from #AHA23. Thanks to our brilliant panel @ehashima @MichaelGVann and #EliseRobison. Special thanks to @MollyWarsh for inviting us, supporting us, and just generally being a force of nature and advocate for the best version of our discipline

At #AHA23, #SimonSchuster generously handed out a few free copies of this new book about #enslaved #African people and their contributions to expanding and enlarging "the very concept of American freedom". Looking forward to digging in and learnng from this 800+ page tome. #BlackHistory #AfricanHistory #histodons

Outgoing AHA president James Sweet argues that attempts to make history an instrument and accoutrement of justice risk, “replacing one set of myths and lies with another.” In fact #HistoricalJustice is perfectly compatible w rigorous social science. #histodons #aha23
