I study 20th century women’s history at #txst Right now, I’m focusing on evangelical purity culture in the 90s, but I’m also interested in immigration, lesbian, and legal history. I’d love some suggestions about “must follow” historians or women/gender/sexuality scholars.

Remember when the United States was in trouble and both Mexico and Canada sent firefighters to help us?
And this is how we replay them. The United States is that toxic, ungrateful friend that you wish you had cut out of your life sooner.

Now that the semester is over, I plan to spend the rest of December reading frivolously. And doing a little digital archive research for my thesis. #gradstudent #history #historian

I’m all set up with a camping chair in a middle school hallway so I can write my final synthesis paper for Dr. Pliley. Not my final PAPER. 🤣 We still have a research proposal and presentation next week. This book was excellent, by the way. #history #gradstudent #gradstudentlife #histbookchat
