Saiu uma boa reportagem no Estadão sobre o 'novo' Qualis, escrita por @leonferrarijor para a qual eu e colegas #TwitterHistorians como @ThiagoKrause2 fomos entrevistados. 👉

Minha ideia básica é que discutimos o Qualis porque não queremos discutir o que importa: a formação de mestres/as e doutores/as.
Afinal o que importa é pontuar na milhagem Lattes e no programa de fidelidade Sucupira, que organizam nossas carreiras e colonizam nossas mentes. 👉

E da mesma maneira que os fatores de impacto foram criados pra ajudar bibliotecas a escolherem qual revista assinar (e não pra verificar sua qualidade "científica" e muito menos a de pesquisadores, como hoje), o Qualis não foi pensado pra ser uma régua universal de "prestígio".👉
Perhaps the most curious response from some people determined to soften recent accusations of plagiarism levelled at a prominent scholar who embraces social media is that to some extent all historians do this, especially early in their career.
I've even seen it excused because the most recent example comes from the accused dissertation, as if that fact makes the plagiarism more acceptable or expected.
Really?
Really?
First, let's recall that the scholar who brought our attention to this issue has highlighted it in the accused's writing at a much later point in their career.
Second, a comparison of the texts under question offers detailed evidence of similarity over multiple sentences.

Just to further clarify folks. #BrightAgesSoWhite #MedievalTwitter #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race #SlaveryArchive #TwitterHistorians This is the issue if you have NO CLUE about the alt-medieval academic ecosystem. Please look at the first two on the right. They are historians (D & S) .1/
Who medieval studies, and I specifically have discussed, as part of the alt-medieval (in long twitter threads), in this IHE article: 2/ insidehighered.com/views/2018/08/…
3/ I really want people to understand 2 things. How white supremacy is structural, STRUCTURAL & the WTGF WS, fascist ecosystem of medieval studies. Every white decision (including the BPOC supporting whiteness decisions) just further cements the structure of white supremacy.
It's the last day of #WomensHistoryMonth and here's some wise words from the founder of modern feminism. Just keep quiet, ladies, turn the heat right down in your chatter about your rights. #WomenWontWeesht #sexmatters 
In honour of #WomensHistoryMonth here's some female sporting heroes who challenged the male domination of sport, making way for women to have their own competitive sports, and to make playing sport and publicly exercising socially acceptable for women. #twitterhistorians #IWD
Katherine Switzer (pic above) is the first woman to run the Boston Marathon. Since the marathon began in 1897 only men were allowed to enter. In 1967 Katherine was officially registered to run, but during the race, the manager ran after her and tried to grab her bib from her to
end her race. Several men came to her aid, and Katherine finished the marathon. Women were not officially allowed in any US marathons until 1972. The first women's Olympic marathon was in 1984 (men's was 1896), won by US runner Joan Benoit.
Happy #WomensHistoryMonth Throughout history women have cross-dressed for a number of reasons, none of them to be 'trans' or 'non-binary' despite what some nefarious 'LGBT historians' will tell you. Here's some of them. #twitterhistorians
Kit Cavanagh (1667-1739). Irishwoman Kit inherited a pub in her teens, and ran it with her husband (with whom she had two children). At the age of 26 she was pregnant with her third when her husband suddenly went missing. It was rumoured he'd been forced in to the British army
against his will, a common occurrence called press ganging. Instead of accepting it, Kit waited until she'd given birth, gave her children to her mother to look after, and just after turning 27 she cut her hair off and joined the British army as a man. She took part in several
#OTD in 1865 Charleston, South Carolina Mayor Charles Macbeth surrendered the city to Lieutenant Colonel A.G. Bennett of the 21st United States Colored Troops. The city had been under siege since the summer of 1863 and its harbor contained Ft. Sumter, where the war began.
Confederate General Beauregard ordered the evacuation three days earlier, nearly four years after he commanded the initial assault of Ft. Sumter in April, 1861. By the afternoon a company of the 54th Mass. (USCT) was helping to extinguish the flames set by the retreating rebels.
Many of the first Union soldiers to enter Charleston were from the USCT and they left a wake of liberation for Black Charlestonians who were legally enslaved the day prior. Days later the 55th Mass. (USCT) walked the streets of downtown singing "John Brown's Body."
#OTD in 1865 the Thirteenth Amendment passed the House of Representatives, sending it to the states for ratification. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States “…except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted."
The amendment ended race-based chattel slavery in America, but did not rid the nation of forced labor, which exists through America’s prison system today. #13thAmendment #Constitution #slavery #HistoryMatters #CivilWar #USCivilWar #AmericanCivilWar #PoliticalHistory #knowhistory
Congress abolished slavery in Washington D.C. in 1862. The Emancipation Proclamation outlawed slavery in rebelling states Jan. 1, 1863 and former rebel states were forced to ban slavery in new state constitutions. Republicans in Congress still wanted a Constitutional Amendment.
#OTD in 1861 a fugitive enslaved person named Sara Lucy Bagby became the last person to be returned to their owner under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. It is unclear when Bagby was born but she was sold in January of 1852 in Richmond to John Goshorn for $600 dollars.
Bagby (More commonly known as Lucy), escaped to Ohio via the Underground Railroad in 1860 and settled in Cleveland. For a short time, she worked as a domestic servant for Republican congressman Albert G. Riddle and as a jeweler
She was arrested on January 19, 1861 and was returned to Goshorn on the 24th. However, After the Emancipation Proclamation in early 1863, Bagby made her way to Pittsburgh, married a man named George Johnson, and relocated with him to Cleveland. Bagby died on July 14th, 1906.
#OTD in 1848 gold was found at Sutter’s Mill, California. This spurred the California Gold Rush, as northern Free-Soilers and pro-slavery Southerners both flocked to the new territory acquired through the Mexican-American War. #OnThisDay #OnThisDate #TodayInHistory #GoldRush
The battle over California’s fate as a free or slave state ignited intense debate in Congress, deepening the divide between the free North and the slave South. #California #Slavery #CaliforniaHistory
The prospect of a free California threatened to upset the even balance between free and slave states, something that southern slaveholders were unwilling to accept without certain concessions. The issue was temporarily resolved through the Compromise of 1850.
The subject of this thread is the IJNAS C3I system behind the destruction of Force Z.

The anniversary of the sinking of Force Z is on the minds of many #twitterhistorians
For example, @ArmouredCarrier has three really nice videos on YouTube about the sinking of HMS Repulse

Konstam's book is wonderful for most of the journalistic "Who, What, Where, When, How, & Why" on Dec 10, 1941, but it leaves out how the command control, communications & intelligence worked for the IJNAS Rikko Kokutai and why it came into existence in time to destroy Force Z.

#NVHOW20 Introducing Jonathan Ruffle @JonathanRuffle ‘TOMMIES’ – The First World War as BBC Radio Drama’- the conception and building of the 11th November 1918 episode of the @BBCRadio4 drama set 150 miles up the Dvina River in northern Russia #FWW #WW1 #FirstWorldWar
1 #NVHOW20 Hi #twitterhistorians. I'm @JonathanRuffle. I created, co-wrote and co-produced a 42-episode real-time BBC Radio 4 drama called TOMMIES about the First World War.
2 #NVHOW20 Our 1918 Armistice Day episode was set in Russia with the 2/10 Battalion Royal Scots up the Dvina River. But I started where we all do.
The ghost of Frederick Jackson Turner and the dreaded f-word have risen again, it seems.
#Twitterhistorians scoffing at this, rightly so, no doubt, but it's worth thinking about why we hate FJT.
#Twitterhistorians scoffing at this, rightly so, no doubt, but it's worth thinking about why we hate FJT.
Many reasons we hate FJT, but here are two:
1) frontier thesis was celebratory, assumed white supremacy, i.e., racist
2) leaves out Indigenous people
1) frontier thesis was celebratory, assumed white supremacy, i.e., racist
2) leaves out Indigenous people
But with all due respect to Patricia Nelson Limerick, isn't it (more or less) true that there was a "frontier" in the sense of east-to-west settler population explosions, esp. in what is now the east and midwest and (sort of) multiple "frontiers" in the west?
As people gear up to watch #GRANT @History, we might want to ponder the way documentaries tell their stories and whether we might rethink that.
I remain curious as to whether the story we are about to see is remarkably different that the 2002 @AmExperiencePBS program on Grant. So far, in terms of content, that one spent more time on Grant as president. In terms of interpretation, I've see nothing new from #GRANT promos.
That Grant's story has been reduced to a mishmash of talking heads and reenactors (which many in the viewing audience more interested in examining the accuracy of the latter than the former) suggests that there's been a failure of imagination here.
Ok, #twitterhistorians... tell us about your first foray into writing an original research paper based on documents. #firstforay
Mine came in 7th grade. Really. I wrote a paper on the 1969 NYC mayoral race. I employed newspaper coverage of the race as well as my own observations.
As you might recall, incumbent mayor John V. Lindsay lost the Republican primary to state senator John Marchi of Staten Island, a conservative. Lindsay decided to mount an independent candidacy.

I’ve long been a critic of multiple choice tests. Wrong answers are called “distractors.” I didn’t become a teacher to distract kids. But that’s a story for another day. (I have written about it, however) 2/
What I want to talk about here is “formative assessment” (FA) a low stakes way for teachers from high school to college to get a quick sense of where their students are at. Easily adaptable for online learning. 3/
1/ A few thoughts about this defense of Columbus Day/attack on Indigenous People’s Day.

2/ The argument is familiar enough: European “civilization” (cast here as “democracy”) is superior to the “savagery” of Indigenous people.
3/ The argument depends on a strawman: “Columbus didn’t bring cruelty to peaceful, benign peoples. The indigenous people were also cruel to one another.” True there is some popular culture/new age romanticism, but scholars, including Native scholars, don’t think this.
(1/7) Since @DineshDSouza refuses to do"takebacks" (despite getting schooled daily by @KevinMKruse & his fellow #twitterhistorians) & since I still can’t believe that @CandaceOwen denied the GOP’s Southern Strategy, I’m reposting this short thread of evidence to the contrary.
(2/7) In a 2005 speech to the NAACP, the former head of the GOP, Ken Mehlman, apologized for his party’s Southern Strategy. At the time, Bob Herbert called it an empty apology in the @nytimes because it was still going on. It still is. nytimes.com/2005/07/18/opi…
(3/7) Some quotes: Scholars Murphy & Gulliver on Nixon: he “hoped to woo Southern support so ardently that there might once again develop a solid political South—but this time committed as firmly to the Republican party as it once had been to the Democratic party.” @KevinMKruse
