My Top 10 Books I read this year. These books stood out the most as not only beautifully written studies, but ones that challenged my understanding of the meaning of freedom. @kevinkenny.bsky.social @kcarterjackson.bsky.social @countesscanuck.bsky.social

Folks: do what you feel is right re: Berks. I will focus my support & energies, as I long have, on ASALH and ABWH. I've been a life member of these two organizations for many, many years, and I will continue to serve them as best I can. 🙏🏾🤎🧘🏾‍♀️ #historysky #academicsky

What's good, #Portland?! Excited to be here! @unecgh.bsky.social #juliachinn #Blacksky #History #Booksky #writing

#JuliaChinn is heading to New England! Join me on Mon, Jan 27, for a talk and signing at @unecgh.bsky.social. I'm excited to see Maine for the first time, even in January. Lol. #books #history #writing #authors #Blacksky

A blessed MLK, Jr. Day to all who celebrate the whole, tough, uncomfortable King, not just the quotes that make u feel good. King was roundly hated when he died, by folks of ALL races. Of course y'all quote him now. It's easy to love a dead man. Carry on. #mlkday2025 #History #Blacksky #Historysky

Look at God. #juliachinn is on audiobooks! Listen, share, & adopt for your classes. Hit me up if you want me to visit your campus! #Blacksky #Booksky #History #Writing audiobooks.com/browse/author/…

Last week, I had the chance to talk with the good folks at the CGH about Canada, the US, history, race, and #JuliaChinn. Looking forward to speaking there in person on Jan 27! #Blacksky #AcademicSky #Booksky #Writingsky

CGH Director Josh Pahigian chatted with Indiana University historian Amrita Chakrabarti Myers about race, gender, and historic erasure on the latest episode of "Oh, the Humanities." creators.spotify.com/pod/show/une... @countesscanuck.bsky.social

I recorded a podcast for @kyhistsoc.bsky.social last summer, and the episode just dropped this morning! Check it out and spend some time with #JuliaChinn. #Blacksky #AcademicSky

Hive mind: what one-semester fellowships do y'all know of that a historian can apply for to begin work on a new book project? I have sabbatical next fall & hope to stack it with another term of funding. I'm willing to relocate for a semester or year (office & library card appreciated!). Thank you. 🙏🏾

‘Devastating’ cuts for IU Center for Research on Race & Ethnicity in Society

CRRES will lose about half of its funding in 2025, said Director Sylvia Martinez. IU Research already cut $43,392 in funds this year, she said, and the Provost’s Office will pull about $204,000 next y...

Humbled that "The Vice President’s Black Wife" received an honorable mention for the #ABWH2024 Letitia Woods Brown book prize! There's nothing better than being recognized by your sister scholars!! #BlackSky #JuliaChinn #BlackWomen #BlackHistory

So proud to be a part of the #RUMafia. No matter where we go, Rutgers always rolls deep! #legacy #ABWH2024 #ABWH24 #abwh

What's good, Nawlins?! Excited to be back in one of my "heart cities" for a few days. #abwh2024 #blackwomenshistory #blackademics #history #tulane #crescentcity #bigeasy

Did you know? There have long been autumn harvest celebrations in different parts of the world. Thanksgiving here was originally a regional observance in colonial New England and was a day of fasting and reflection, not feasting or football. #History #Thanksgiving 1/

I'll be teaching a grad course in Jan on "Black Women in the Diaspora." My plan is to teach a split btwn US-based books & those from Canada, Lat Am, & Europe. I'd love to get your suggestions. Time period open. Thanks in advance! #booksky #academicsky #blacksky

This is an odd space. I keep getting new followers, but no one likes or comments on my posts. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Here are pics of my weekend companion. Not terribly talkative, but a super cuddler! #dogs

Memphis! The way you hosted me is beyond description. The meals, the museum tour, the attention to every detail from pickup & lecture to book signing & drop-off! And, I was able to see friends, former students, & mentors, plus meet fantastic scholars! My cup runneth over. Thank you!! #juliachinn

This hit me hard today. #lovelanguage #love #kindness

Memphis Fam: I'm headed your way this week! Please share this with your communities across institutions and organizations. I'd love to see y'all. #blackhistory #blackwomenshistory #slaveryarchive #blackwomen #juliachinn

Hey, All. I've just moved over here from Voldemort's lair. Heard the skies were clear out this way. 😀 I'm an educator, writer, & organizer. A Black women's historian, I specifically research & publish on Black women and slavery in the US South. Looking forward to getting acquainted! #blackhistory
