When I hear about UC faculty breaking the strike to teach classes or turn in grades....angry? yes! disappointed? yes! Frustrated? yes!!! #fairUCnow #stopscabbing #UnionsForAll

As graduate students we were treated so poorly and the best advocate has always been the union. We barely survived and now we need to fight to make it better for the next generation. #uawonstrike #fairUCnow

This looks amazing! Check it out! #borderlands #mexico

Back to Berlin and the Freie Universität very soon for the third workshop on Untold Stories of the Spanish Civil War. Very excited to present my work on Elena Garro in Spain among wonderful people💜

Now that I teach only online, I have to reframe my thinking. What will bring me joy in teaching this semester?

I will start with thinking about what brought me joy about teaching in person...

Read this book!🙌

This is wild to think about. I know that the U.S. subsidizes their corn which undercuts Mexican markets but is there even more to this history?

My favorites are Fortuna and Violina...what are your faves?

Pack your bags! 🌵🌵🏜️🏜️

Listening to talks completely outside of my areas of research is such a blast even if I have to really work hard to think of any good questions! I'm listening to a history of science talk about music and 17th century theories of vibration and the brain.

Teaching on two different timelines is so confusing....am I in week 11 or week 3? I am in both.

If you have not had a chance to check out our podcast...please stop by! Jorge N. Leal (@jorgenleal.bsky.social)

So cool that people are also reading about our podcast! Back to recording more!!!

I think I may be enjoying the Barbie marketing a little too much. It's not only working that I want to see both Barbie and Oppenheimer - thanks to the memes -- but I don't even feel manipulated. 🤔🤔🤔

Did another podcast today with Jorge N. Leal (@jorgenleal.bsky.social)! We talked about our rock en español origin stories and you can listen in on Wednesday.

In honor of Jonathan Gold's birthday mont, I want to share that I have an assignment that involves reading his work to teach students to write history in an engaging way, by writing about food. #jonathangold #losangeles

Glad we got the chance to hang out!
