All of us at OUP are saddened to hear of the loss of scholar Laurence Hauptman. We were fortunate to work with him on several projects and his absence will be deeply felt.
Dr. Laurence Hauptman, a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History at SUNY New Paltz, has passed at the age of 81. He was the author, co-author, or co-editor of twenty-one books and numerous articles, mostly on the Indigenous peoples of North America.

When a journalist needs an expert, I am proud when they turn to an @oupress.bsky.social author for insight. Here, @tbertramgallant.bsky.social, author of "The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI," sheds light on the "college AI cheating wars" for the Los Angeles Times.
Campus rules to fight AI cheating are reaching new levels. At UCLA, some students were told to use mirrors to show their desk and hold arms behind heads during online exams. Elsewhere, anti-AI apps scan your eyes. I go inside the campus AI cheating wars: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Americans of all political persuasions hate the US Congress. I nominate Frances Lee's "A Case for Congress" (@oupress.bsky.social) as a hopeful read for America's 250th. The book added nuance to my own thinking, as Lee shows where Congress does serve, however imperfectly, as the Founders intended.
