Now I am going to try to do something impossible: to live tweet the #SHEAR2022 presidential address from my amazing advisor, Joanne Freeman @jbf1755
As many of you will already know, she is a master of incisive, witty, powerful language — so with this talk in particular I will be butchering it here and if you’re not in the room you should look out for the printed version that will come out in @TheJERPano
Talk will discuss how emotion has impacted US politics in concrete ways—the emotional logic of American politics—especially outrage, both unintentionally elicited and intentionally provoked
Ok, time for a #SHEAR2022 roundtable (figuratively speaking — literally it’s a quadrilateral) on “Teaching History Amidst the History Wars: A Conversation with Secondary School History Teachers.” A subject near and dear to my heart!
Co-chair of roundtable @brfranklin4 begins with the important (and heartwarming!) point that it’s not just that college profs have something to offer high school teachers—the exchange can and should go both ways.
Nelva Williamson (@nelva) teaches at Young Women’s College Preparatory Academy, an all girls’ public school in Houston. She helped found the school and is a pilot teacher this year for the brand-new AP African American Studies course.
Starting now—a panel with secondary school teachers talking about teaching history during the “History Wars.”
We need to have their backs!

Great line up of secondary school history teachers. Interested to hear their insights on teaching in the here and now.

H.S. Teaching panel: Not students or parents that cause the biggest problems in history teaching in high schools. It’s outside agitators.

Good morning from #SHEAR2022! I’m going to do my best to share highlights from the panel “Federal Sovereignty and State Policy: Authority, Law, and Governance in the Early Republic”
First up, @GraceMallon3, postdoc at Oxford, with “Federal Indian Policy and the Problem of the States in the 1790s” drawn from a project that takes an empirical approach to how state-federal relations worked in practice in the early national period
Argues that state governments continued to play a major role in Indian policy beyond the famous examples of Georgia and Tennessee in Removal era, sometimes helping and sometimes hindering fed government. This can teach us about early US federalism more generally.
Greetings from #SHEAR2022. Welcome to my inevitably shambolic attempt to live tweet 3 rich papers from the panel “New Intellectual Histories of the Republic”!
First up, Hampton Smith, phd candidate at MIT, with “Weaving Black Mathematics.” Smith begins by discussing a powerful historiography demonstrating the multi-faceted deleterious role of quantification in Atlantic slavery — the dehumanizing effects of turning ppl into numbers.
Smith does not contest this historiography but is contributing to a newer stream of scholarship showing that the enslaved had their own forms of quantification/numeracy
