As the academic year comes to an end here, I want take a moment to talk about the amazing work of my grad students, past and present.
1. @LeahRigueur, now an assistant professor at Harvard's @Kennedy_School, is the author of this brilliant book. She's now hard at work on a follow-up on conservative African Americans in the Reagan years. amazon.com/Loneliness-Bla…
2. @allofmilov, an assistant professor of history at @UVA, has her first book coming out this October.
This is one instance in which you actually *can* judge the book by its cover, because the contents are just as cool:

8. @dygottlieb has accepted a National Fellowship with the Jefferson Scholars Foundation at @UVA for the coming year, which he'll use to finish work on a phenomenal dissertation about yuppies in 1980s New York. (He's got an article out this fall with the @JournAmHist too.)

11. Jacqueline Brandon is busy researching her dissertation on NAFTA and the politics of globalization in the 1990s, which seems like a *pretty* timely topic for study. Stay tuned!
12. Last but certainly not least, @Jaime_SanchezJr passed his generals exams with flying colors last month and, importantly, managed not to be crushed by the tower of books he mastered:
