dystopian never forget that a few years back some project veritas style sting tried to pull a gotcha by asking historians about Ranke, several of us recognized and flagged the op for what it was, and John Fea mocked us because he apparently can't close read contemporary texts for shit

becoming president of the AHA does not automatically bring a deep knowledge of the history of the historical profession in the US. nor does reading That Noble Dream. to offer a narrative of historians' "influence" in American life is to attempt to do #USIH. it's fine for historians trained in other fields/periods to broaden their research interests. an early modern Africanist narrating historians' (supposed) former v. current place in American society is actually attempting to do American cultural/intellectual history. #USIH

#twitterstorians #highered #journalists If you have a radio show, a TV show, a podcast, I am BEGGING you -- please cover this story. Less than one week after accepting a judgment against them in MY lawsuit over first amendment rights, @collincollege fired a beloved professor for exercising his First Amendment rights.
