Sad news: Just heard that George P. #Landow passed away on 31 May at the age of 82. George was Professor Emeritus of English & Art History at #BrownUniversity and a noted #hypertext theorist. My condolences to his wife and family.
I interviewed George in 2009 for the @ACM @sigweb newsletter: https://doi.org/10.1145/1507222.1507226

Love this #BrownUniversity history. This piece was made by a student of the great (if you know early American needlework) Mary Balch. I wrote a tidbit here: https://karinwulf.com/tidbits/brown-university-stitched-c-1786/
Other wonderful things about #brownuniversity #commencement include the creative uses of the #JCBLibrary for pictures and for a good viewing spot of the main green in the shade!

#brownuniversity commencement weekend lively and lovely in so many ways. Among them that Brown awards degrees to faculty who arenโt Brown alums โ ad euendemโ recognizing degrees earned elsewhere but making you de facto alums. (A few others in uk and US do this.). We showed up in our funny robes and hats (and sunglasses) on this lovely day to applaud the graduates and collect this nice gesture. #highered #graduation
#brownuniversity #highered #graduation
Today we welcome tours of graduating #BrownUniversity seniors @ the #JCBLibrary and it's maybe my last chance to tell them how urgently they need history, humanities --and an understanding of the foundational importance of the early Americas. It's complexity, violence, all of it.

Today in Labor History March 22, 1794: President Washington signed the Slave Trade Act, which banned U.S. ships and citizens from engaging in the international slave trade. However, Americans continued to import and export slaves illegally, and other countries could still legally import slaves into the U.S. until 1807. A slave trader named John Brown, founder of Brown University, was the first person tried and acquitted under the Slave Trade Act. But the government still confiscated his ship. He was later elected to Congress.

Bringing theory of history and theory of (digital) media together? Ready to present my attempt at #DigitalPublication|s & #Hypertext at the terrific symposium #digitalht2023 - organized by #HistoryAndTheory & #BrownUniversity.
Looking forward to the discussion! #DigitalHistory
#digitalpublication #hypertext #digitalht2023 #historyandtheory #brownuniversity #digitalhistory
#DigitalHistory has given us a great array of tools to expand hist. research. It has helped us gain new insights & it transforms our discipline. But how about critical, theoretical reflection? Excited to be part of the conversation today and tomorrow, hosted by #HistoryAndTheory Journal & #BrownUniversity's Center for Digital Scholarship. Join the discussion (hybrid)! ๐ https://historyandtheory.org/digitalht2023

A fascinating interactive visualization, from the #BrownDailyHerald, of how the #BrownUniversity campus footprint has evolved from the time it showed up in Providence (1770) to today.

Compared to UC Berkeley which despite the law is holding onto more than 9,000 Native American remains, #rhodeisland colleges and museumsโ holdings are puny. But ya know still not a good thing. Come on #brownuniversity Come on #URI
You can see which museums in your state are illegally holding Native remains here:

The #NYTimes continues to flex its #NoMoreFreeways muscle. Today an excellent piece on #InducedDemand.
Matt Turner, an economics professor at #BrownUniversity, said adding lanes is a fine solution if the goal is to get more #cars on the road. But most #highway expansion projects cite reducing #traffic as a primary goal.
โIf you keep adding lanes because you want to reduce traffic congestion, you have to be really determined not to learn from history,โ Dr. Turner said.

Hello World
An #introduction : I'm an Assistant Professor at #BrownUniversity studying the cross-species neural bases of non-motor and cognitive sequences (e.g., how do we keep track of the sequence of tasks in making a cup of coffee). We use fMRI and TMS in humans, and fMRI and electrophysiology in animals with a current focus on on the frontal cortex.
I am an advocate and supporter of #WomenInSTEM. If anyone is interested in joining us (we're looking to grow our team) please see the lab website.
I'm looking forward to exploring conversation in this new space!
