I research, write, and teach about gender and race in early US culture. Lover of dogs and cats. Hater of piety in any ideological inflection.

Understandably, it's been slow going for this project this year. They need at least 75 more toys for parents at Cook County Jail to give to their kids: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We are going to focus @douglassday.bsky.social in Feb 2026 on the Colored Conventions and their visions for citizenship.
We need to tell a much fuller story about the 14th amendment. The history is crystal clear. The Constitution is crystal clear.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Post-doc applications for next year's seminar on "Translation" at Rutgers' Center for Cultural Analysis are "live"! The seminar will be co-ed by Preetha Mani and Jeff Lawrence. Fellow academics: let your early-career colleagues, students, and former students know! jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/263...

And enraging times, too.
We are living at a time when university leadership amplifies anti-intellectual tropes and technologies
These are very troubling times

A long time ago, my department's administrator one explained to me why I might not be a good dept chair: "you're the same person in every situation."
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Alan Dershowitz is an evil piece of shit.
To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
