#introduction I’m dedicated to the practice of public history “from the bottom up” - what the late Staughton Lynd called “guerrilla history.” As the Director of the Center for Public History at Shawnee State University, my projects include the development of a mobile app and website (Scioto Historical); research into the Underground Railroad in Appalachia; and the digitization of a large collection of newspapers from Portsmouth, Ohio. #histodons #publichistory #guerillahistory #UGRR #appalachia

One of my favorite podcasts is #GuerillaHistory, a self-described "reconnaissance report of #global history for the #activist #left" that explores today's world through the lens and lessons of #history. The charming hosts are immunobiologist Henry Hakamaki; Prof. Adnan Husain, historian and director of the School of Religion at Queens University; and Breht O'Shea of #Revolutionary #Left #Radio.

The 12/9 episode of Guerrilla History is the first of a two-part conversation with Prof. Raquel Varela (A People's History of Europe: From WWI to Today) on the history of modern Europe, covering the two World Wars. the International Institute for Social History.
