(1) Perhaps part of the problem is the all-too-common practice of assigning high school history classes to athletic coaches whose lesson plans consist of reading the textbook aloud. Possibly, students begin to perceive history as a boring litany of names, dates, and places when..
Policies like this make me so nervous - graduation is in a month, possibly adjuncting in the fall. What a great time to be a historian 😕
So it’s official. New policy at uni is to make adjuncts reapply and go through and interview process for every semester for every class. I’ve taught there for 5 years. Not at all demeaning. #academictwitter #AdjunctProfessr #AdjunctNation

Spending this weekend narrowing down the importance of using local, "hands on" history programs to introduce youth to the idea that history can be fun to learn. Exciting topic - but it's a lot to shove into a 10-minute panel presentation! #Twitterstorians
Presentation in less than a week... and all I have is piles of research and an un-transcribed oral interview. Yep. Sounds about right. #historianlife
So it will be 33° here in the morning... and then a high of 70° on Friday. Can I at least get some stability in my life via the weather?
No Twitter - I don't want to follow every Nascar racer. I know I live in North Carolina... but it is not actually required for me to like Nascar just because I live here.
