Was able to lend my previously recorded voice to a new segment on the Anti-Apartheid Movement in Gainesville for #FloridaFrontiers' most recent episode. Gives me some incentive to finish this chapter of the book!

I've had the pleasure to see Rochelle present her work in person at @batw.bsky.social's annual conference and I'm very much looking forward to giving this a read.

Worth a read on the day I cover the German American Bund during the 1930s...

Thrilled to announce that I have been awarded a grant from the ACLS HBCU Faculty awards to help fund my current book project on the anti-apartheid movement in Florida. It's a great honor and wonderful incentive to get this book done! www.acls.org/news/acls-an...

102 is a great life. The woman loved football and her father's franchise. It would have been great if she could have seen another Super Bowl. #DaBears

Repost of one of my most substantial threads from Twitter.
As divestment protests on FL campuses grew last year, I thought it helpful to understand the history of similar protests that took place across FL related to the anti-apartheid movement. While not a perfect parallel, similarities remain.🧵

Beginning the academic year of 2025 with low attendance, high student uncertainty and confusion, and an ever-filling inbox of service and bureaucratic requests from admin. Looks like 2025 is just going to be nothing new; only difference I'll need to find time to finish writing another manuscript.

I really need to remember that I'm on this thing...

I'm thrilled to announce that I've signed a contract with the University Press of Florida for a monograph on the anti-apartheid movement in Florida! What started as an academic research diversion has morphed into a full-blown book project! Watch this space for more as the project progresses!

Had the supreme pleasure of interviewing with Florida Frontiers about my work on anti-apartheid movements in Florida. A wonderful radio program from
@FLAHistorical, and the subject matter is pretty interesting (though I am a touch biased). podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Thrilled to have been able to contribute to this wonderful volume and a great physical manifestation of the fantastic work being done in Safundi. A perfect fit for any university library--> www.routledge.com/Struggle-for...

Perhaps one of the most fascinating women of the 20th century. "Icon in Motion" is a fitting title for this exhibit.

Plenaries AND extended deadlines?!? It's the conference that keeps on giving!

I really cannot overstate the deflating power of coming into a classroom that should have 60 students ready to discuss the topic for the day and finding only a dozen who don't even know what the readings were...

The Great BlueSky transition continues, complete with #BATW2024!

Had the chance to review a fascinating book on African Intersex for the Journal of History of Medicine and Allied Sciences. Give it a read, but more critically, take a look at Swarr's book if you are interested in the subject! academic.oup.com/jhmas/articl...

So got to moderate an engaging and enjoyable panel at the Miami Book Fair today that just happened to also be on C-SPAN. Always fun to masquerade as a public intellectual every once in a while... www.c-span.org/video/?53174...
