Dear fellow historians: I recently asked my undergraduate students what sparked their interest in studying history. Two of them mentioned the film Titanic! Now I'm curious (and will let them know): What sparked your interest in studying #history?

Ob New York oder die Niederlande. Die jüngsten Wahlergebnisse zeigen, dass es einen erfolgreichen Weg gibt gegen rechte Populisten und Extremisten: auf eigene Themen setzen, sich nicht treiben lassen, klare Kante zeigen. Und dabei gut gelaunt bleiben.

I am beyond excited (and nervous!) to announce that my first book, "The House Archives Built and Other Thoughts on Black Archival Possibilities" is available for sale!
