Great opportunity to discuss public history and public archaeology with the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation today at their Tribal Center near Burlington, NC. And a treat to view the collection of artifacts from the late John Blackfeather. #UNC #UNCHistory #UNCAnthropology

Overjoyed to donate a 1944 anniversary gala pamphlet for the 920th Air Base Security BN to the USAF Security Forces Museum and coordinate on a future public history display. The Gala was on Bougainville and commemorates those awarded for heroism in the Battle of Torokina Perimeter.

Beautiful day for some archaeological surveys in Hillsborough, NC with UNC’s anthropology department. Using Ground Penetrating Radar to survey for possible colonial era archaeological sites. #UNC #History

I have finally injected sufficient Airpower History propaganda into the UNC History Department’s Military History Graduate Student offices… I was surrounded by too many Civil War posters for my liking.
(The knitted roundel was a gift from one of my students)

The joys of grad school apartments. No space for more bookshelves in the “library” so the living room is rapidly become the painfully unorganized overflow for new bookshel(ves)…

Such an incredible week at the Second World War Research Group annual conference in London. So many phenomenal scholars and such an incredibly well run conference! Big thanks to both for allowing me to share my research!

Great kick off to the international Second World War Research Group annual conference last night with panel of stars discussing evolution of historiography, key emerging themes, and future of global histories of WWII. 27 countries and 120+ institutions represented.

Thanks @loyolachicago.bsky.social History Department for a phenomenal conference and providing me the opportunity to present my research on Air Base Security Battalions of World War II and the lessons lost due to their invisibility to history.

Had the opportunity to present some of my research on the Air Base Security Battalions of WWII and the repercussions of segregation. Thanks to the team at Texas A&M for putting on the Conference
