This week I was elected to serve on our school district’s board of education.
Found out today that a student in another part of the hemisphere cited my work in their National History Day project. That was the coolest!
This semester I’m getting to teach Women in the Modern World, and their first project has the students researching case studies of women’s suffrage around the world. Today I got to hear presentations from 8 of them and it was THE BEST WAY to start my day!
Last weekend I dove into Fannie Barrier William’s life and her experiences at the 1893 world’s fair. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it! www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2026/02/wome...

Here’s my last published piece for 2025 - thrilled that I was able to have something published every month this year, a first for me.

Excellent piece, and the book referenced amongst this larger historiography of women’s history looks fab.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 12mo agoI know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.
To follow up on a comment I posted - the building at the entrance to Arlington is the Women’s Memorial, or the Women in Military Service for America Memorial. It’s housed in the hemicycle, built in the 30s as an entrance to Arlington but never really used that way: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militar...

Waitman Wade Beorn, PhD, FRHistS@waitmanwbeorn.com · 12mo agoDACOWITS is gone, after nearly 75 years of important, forward-thinking work about the role of women in national defense. Hegseth claims the group had a “divisive” “agenda,” but he’s wrong and severely misunderstands - intentionally so, I think - the role the committee has played historically.

My personal rule is to always check the new book display at the library. It took me to this fabulous find.

If I hear one more higher ed professional say “we need to go back to blue books and pencils to keep students from using AI,” I’m going to throw the entire industry out the window. We cannot continue rely on ableist practices, period, the end.
I’m a historian and a K-12 educator and I use AI. My Bluesky is full of people I respect, all regularly posting about how they dislike AI and the people who use it. Many are in higher ed and/or the larger history field. So - we’re just alienating K-12 teachers and others who are using AI tools now?
What can we do against such reckless hate? Enjoy & share widely the solidarity with all the amazing work in my 231st #ScholarSunday thread of public scholarly writing, podcasts, new & forthcoming books from the last week. 🗃️ americanstudier.substack.com/p/scholarsun...

It’s small, but one of my favorite things is that I get to write a women’s history column each month. I love the research rabbit holes I go down, the stories I find, and the primary sources I discover. It’s not book 2but it’s what I have the ability to do right now, and it makes me very happy.

Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · last yr.Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators
