NEH Union - AFGE L3403@nehafge3403.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Heads up: this proposed rule from OPM affects not just the #sciences, but the National Endowment for the Humanities as well. These changes - to peer review, to staff expertise, to grant terminations - have been already happening for more than a year at our #humanities agency. #NEH

“The damage inflicted over the past 16 months is prologue. The OMB’s proposal for overhauling U.S. government grantmaking would explicitly subordinate expert peer review to political gatekeepers and make ideological alignment with the administration a prerequisite for funding.”

Scholarly folks who have ever received federal funding: today is the deadline for public comment on proposed revisions that will decimate our national research capacity and replace expertise with political whim. Please consider throwing in your 2¢. See below for some useful links and encouragement.

Another way to put this: most institutions, including most research universities, believe that research support in the way of time is something that faculty must largely buy extramurally based on merit, even if research quality is their most important metric in assessing faculty performance.

All of this. This is why the vanishing of material support for reading and thinking is such a massive crisis for the historical profession. 🗃️

Virtually everyone who cycles on the road has stories about drivers nearly killing them out of carelessness or incompetence and then reacting to being appraised of having nearly killed them by threatening or trying to kill them.

A driver in New York City chased a cyclist into a protected bike lane because the rider *gasp* tapped the car after it nearly hit him. Remember, drivers can do whatever they want to cyclists, but if we touch their cars it is literal violence.

Dr. Pollyanna Rhee’s important new book Natural Attachments examines the history of Santa Barbara, its idealized image, environmentalism, property owners, and oil to make us think anew about US environmentalism, property rights, and energy. I was delighted to participate in this roundtable on it.

For your weekend reading consideration: an H-Environment Roundtable on my book. Really gratifying to have people like @lawrencecphd.bsky.social and others engage so deeply with the ideas and arguments on place, politics, and an environmentalism we deserve. networks.h-net.org/sites/defaul...
