Thrilled to announce Rebirth of the House Museum: Transforming the Woodrow Wilson Family Home into the First Museum of the Reconstruction Era is under contract with the @USCPress. Look for it around spring of 2025, and it's open access.

A cool thing happened last weekend. 😎 An event was held for Public History students in Dr. Taylor's class who conducted oral histories with Heinz History Makers for a documentary in their new exhibit, "A Woman's Place: How Women Shaped Pittsburgh." 🏙️💖🎙️
Dr. Taylor poses with Public History Students in front of a video recording of the oral histories these students helped put together for the exhibit. A screen inside the exhibit that reads: Credits | The History Center thanks the Duquesne Graduate Program in Public History's class in Oral History for conducting these interviews: Dr. Jennifer Taylor, Bryton Altenbach, Morris Li, Regan Licata, Griffin Nordstrom, Al Preston, Andrea Tomaro, Kelly Wall. A special thanks to our History Makers for sharing their time and insights.

Kinda of a weird 9-11 anniversary for me this year. Half my life lived before it. Half after it. It still feels like the biggest historical event of my life as a US citizen. But there's aliens now, so we'll see . . .

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

New hostile architecture at my stop. Pretty wood and not at all comfortable to sit on.

If the SAVE plan survives and my tentative application is correct, it is a game changer.

I make a new draft version every time I make major cuts or condense paragraphs. Not only do I go back for text, but it is a lifesaver if you need to fix or verify a footnote.

Genuinely, my main dissertation writing tip for PhD students (or anyone!) is to make an additional document for each of your chapters, and then paste everything you cut out into it. Cannot describe how many times I went back and retrieved things I thought I’d never use.

We heard you like mug shots. Here is Gene's, taken at Atlanta.
