I’m a history professor focusing on 20th-century Europe, with a particular interest in the comparative history of nationalism and of responses to Nazi aggression. My most recent book is Occupied: European and Asian Responses to Axis Conquest, 1937-1945 (Camb. Univ. Press, 2023).

His brilliance keeps breaking the charts, so they have to start all over again.

I’ll do that just as soon as my university has created a major in syllabus studies to which the course would be the required introduction.

Aviel Roshwald @avielroshwald.bsky.social · 11h

I believe we’re already living in one.

Aviel Roshwald @avielroshwald.bsky.social · 11h

I’m getting very excited by the possibilities.

Aviel Roshwald @avielroshwald.bsky.social · 11h

The syllabus for a course on the history of the syllabus would be a sight to behold.

Someone should write a history of the syllabus. You could learn so much about higher ed just from the changes in these documents.

In my lifetime syllabi have gone from a thing professors joked about in exasperation to a bizarre form of state surveillance equally loathed by faculty and students

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social · 14h

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Right.

It seems only fitting that Trump would commemorate his presidency by constructing a triumphal, McDonald’s-inspired, golden arch at the gateway to the nation’s capital.

Being abandoned on a desert isle in a 1973 Dodge as a massive tsunami comes roaring in seems like an apt metaphor for where these maniacs want to take the country.

Alan Elrod @aselrod.bsky.social · 1d

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration.

It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

The whole idea of counter-majoritarian institutions rests on the idea that the <baseline> institution in a democracy - majoritarian popular election of the legislature - <actually> exists. Only then can you <counter> the tyranny of the minority with other institutions. We need the first one first!
