Truly honored to be a part of this year's #CarnegieFellows alongside a wonderful group of fellows. Thank you @carnegie.org!

I couldn't be more excited to be an @acls1919.bsky.social fellow this year! I'm even more honored to be announced alongside such brilliant scholars and cohort members. 🥰 You can catch me next year reading and writing about Latinos and far-right politics so come say hi if you are too!

We are excited to announce the recipients of the 2026 ACLS Fellowships. This year, the program will award more than $3.5 million to 63 scholars in the humanities and social sciences. Learn more and meet the awardees: bit.ly/4cLE3jM

Looking for suggestions for secondary readings on COINTELPRO and the Young Lords, anyone written anything or have anything to share? (Obviously already have the brilliant Johanna Fernández in the mix)

📣 Are you doing Latino Public History in your classrooms? I want to talk! 🙋‍♀️ I'm building a new class & want to talk to folks who have tried this in their classroom (succesful or not!) & how to build out shareable tools for us to all be able to do these projects in our classes. Please share widely! 💫

So I’ve had my 1st Black History Month event cancellation because of “DEI concerns,” citing a fear of frivolous suits. Funny thing is, I don’t do DEI, I’m a historian of the Black American experience. A reminder that DEI is just a dog whistle about suppressing history, if you need a reminder.

Doing historical research isn’t just an intellectual enterprise; it’s emotional and embodied. I legit almost threw up earlier this morning while researching etymology related to the year 1712. If you’re a historian and/or do archival research, how do you handle the SHOCK of revelation?

Who are the river people on here? Hydrologists, geomorphologists, historians, anthropologists, poets, writers, people who love them. Looking to make a starter pack! #rivers #envhist #envhum 🏞️

Does anyone have any good resources for first-gen students getting a PhD? Any books, podcasts, articles, social media accounts etc. that I can share with students to help demystify academia and the process would be super appreciated 💖
