Big weekend around here! On Friday, the Caribbean class enshrined the pirates they’ve been studying, and on Saturday Public History students cleaned tombstones in Rose Hill Cemetery as part of Tiger Serve Day.

Thanks to Retired National Guard Colonel Anita Deason, the current military and veterans affairs liaison for U. S. Senator John Boozman, for speaking with Public History Theory and Practice students about contributing to the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress!

Woot, woot! arkadelphian.com/2021/10/25/myr…

Last mail run is complete! We will miss Worker Bee and English/History major Brianna Taylor when she graduates next week. We look forward to seeing what graduate school and the future have in store!

Yum, yum! A sample of what the Caribbean class cooked. They've added recipe blogs to their site that includes original musical comps and close reads of Car authors. This fun project has a little bit of everything--just like the region we enjoyed studying! hist3073caribbeanstudies.wordpress.com

Curious about all of those buildings, benches, and memorials on our campus? The Digital Public History class spent last semester cataloging them. You can find the site, complete with descriptions and directions, here: obumarkers.weebly.com

Welcome, Isaac Lawson to the front desk! Isaac is a Public History major interested in an archival career. We are glad he’s here. #newfacesinhistory

Woohoo!

Happy birthday to our esteemed chair! Some of his students threw a surprise party.

Thank you to everyone who has spoken to our Introduction to Historical Studies course this seme! We have heard from alums and professors in law, museum work, ministry, accounting, and other professions. We are glad to see folks using their History majors in versatile ways!

Congratulations, Dr. Motl!

Members of the Coffee and Chocolate course received their tasting journals today. We look forward to a delicious and educational (but probably not nutritious) semester together!

When your mid-term exam is “just a box of random stuff.” Good job and good luck to the Archive Studies class as they organize an unprocessed collection!

While the kids these days were prepping their Tunes shows, professor Chris Mortenson presented on his latest book manuscript at the Arkansas Association of College History Teachers. Congratulations!

That thing if when you’ve hoarded your Topical Seminar tasting chocolates all semester. #shareplease

Historians Take Manhattan!

Spent some engaging days learning at The Search for Humanity After Atrocity conference before an evening out to decompress. We pray for safe travels as we fly back and as everyone heads out for Fall Break!
