Question for #envhist and humanities peeps: I’m working on an outreach plan supporting a wetland restoration project. Does anybody have recommendations of authors or projects using history to increase public awareness on restoration projects?

Last year Matt Emberg developed a board game about the conquest of Tenochtitlan. Today we got to play the finalized version. I loved the process of helping Matt design the game and now seeing the outcome. Another reason why I love my job.

If you want to prevent use of AI in student assignments, try this method of mine. It works really nicely. In the process, it also gives students transparent tools to prove they did their own work (to me and to future employers).
