Arizona State University is hiring a TT assistant professor of African American history with preferred research specialty in the West/Southwest and Immigration or Migration history. Deadline for applications is 2/14. #skystorians #academicjobs apply.interfolio.com/161715

#skystorians : tips for how to approach peer review of a book MS? For articles, I'll typically do a first read through, write some impressions, then go back over and get more in the weeds, but not sure how to handle a much longer and more complex piece. Advice appreciated!

First book of 2025 (started in 2024; I promise I did some things other than read today) ☑️

I will forever be thrilled (if slightly anxious) to hear that someone (esp an educator!) is reading my book 🤩
