During Jim Crow, safety at hotels, restaurants, and gas stations was not guaranteed. Travel was inherently dangerous for Black Americans. Every route was planned with care. Trace the routes on the Green Book website: greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject #CommunityMap #EconSky

Some of us already know the answer…

We should ask why it’s so easy for terms and concepts like “Heritage American” and “Western Chauvinism” are met with earnest analysis and exploration while academic theory produced by Black scholars are summarily dismissed by people reading introductory texts if that.

Happy Pop-Tarts Bowl Day to all who celebrate
My tweet from 2023: I asked if it was offensive to eat a Pop-Tart in front of the @PopTartsBowl mascot and then its handler yelled out "ITS THEIR DREAM" and then the mascot grabbed a Pop-Tart out of my hand and started force-feeding it to me while making soft grunting noises. Picture of me being fed a pop tart by a Pop tart

And that’s part of the problem a lot of people assume Black thinkers are simply acting out of revenge and hatred against white people rather than examining and exploring the dynamics within their communities and larger context.

One of the lasting impacts of William Buckley getting dog walked by James Baldwin in the Cambridge debate in 1965 was that racial conservatism decided it was easier to dismiss Black ideas because they couldn't win the argument.

The most American of all Americans and not a single tangible link to the political, social, and economic institution that drove the nation to a Civil War.

One observation about the “Heritage American” discourse is that the same people advancing this false and amorphous definition of authentic Americans are the same people who love to claim that *their* ancestors all arrived after Emancipation…

For those not following at home, “Heritage American” is a category of white supremacy covering people whose ancestors were white folks who were pioneers.

After fried rice, sesame chicken, beef with broccoli, egg rolls, spring rolls, and lo
Mein, it’s time for movies! First up is “National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation” because it’s my parents favorite holiday movie. “Muppets Christmas Carol” is second.

The wildest thing to me is that multiple Black people had to die in a manner akin to public spectacles for 2020 to happen and the backlash is being fueled by white guys who can’t sell a screenplay or manuscript.

Seeing all the holiday Lego joy made me dig through a few of my favorite Lego memories.

More generally, the right favors competition, but only if (a) the pool of competitors is restricted to the favored group; and (b) the favored group gets to define the criteria for "merit."

From threats of violence to racially segregated restaurants to sundown towns, holiday travel required careful, deliberate planning from Black people. The Green Book project documents this history, and you can add your story as well: greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject #CommunityMap #EconSky

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities.

Lawfare's Domestic Deployments tracker and map, updated by Loren Voss, shows we know—and don’t know—about certain domestic military deployments.

One thing I can say is that the Logans have the BEST Christmas celebrations! Such a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner tonight. Family memories surrounded us as we made new ones. This season is one to reflect, remember, and rejoice!

Merry Christmas to Everyone!

I’m glad Ohio State has a robust and popular military history program. The courses are quite popular and offer a perspective to history most undergraduates have not encountered. I wish more departments would invest in the field. Lots of overlap with political, social, economic history as well.

I know it’s time consuming to grade but it makes it so much easier in the long run. Also, reading all of the responses shows what did/did not land with students. Grading handwritten exams is also an assessment of my teaching, for better or worse.

I just don’t know how you get to gauge whether a student gets income versus substitution effects unless you have them draw it up and label it. In economic history or applied courses writing out the main concepts of an idea or method are important plus I know that it’s coming from the student.

As a professor I have only given exams that required blue books. I have always used them because I need to see what my students know, and blue books are the best way I know to assess that.
stephenharrison.com Stephen Harrison @stephenharrison.com · 4d
Does anyone else bristle at this framing? WSJ says blue books are “torturing” students with hand cramps, and “nobody likes them.”

Listen, students have been outsourcing everything to AI and cheating their way through college. Blue books should be celebrated as a return to authentic human learning.
They Were Every Student’s Worst Nightmare. Now Blue Books Are Back.
Cheating with ChatGPT has become a huge problem for colleges. The solution is painfully old-school.

The demographics of Black students at elite universities bears this out. But nobody wants to talk about this, ever.
