Congrats Alex Pearl!! It’s very well-deserved and amazing to have a Chickasaw citizen be the Chickasaw Chair!

We are very sad to hear that Pulitzer Prize–winning author N. Scott Momaday (Kiowa) passed away last week. He was born on February 27, 1934, in Lawton, OK. Sending our condolences to his family & friends 💚 May he rest in peace.

Honored to be included in this Rachel Shelden thread on “exceptional untenured” historians! There’s so much exciting work happening in 18th and 19th century U.S. history!

This is exactly why certain senior historians are saying that nothing new is happening in US history right now and why they’re dead wrong 👇

This is what I’ve been saying!! And my Texan queens are both dropping albums in March! 👀

Crews are dismantling Iron Gate, Copco 1 & J.C Boyle dams on the Klamath River. The project will reopen 400 miles of salmon habitat. For the 1st time in more than 100 years, fish are expected to spawn above the dams in 2024. The former reservoirs are already greening up.

🚨New Article! (I'm back to Professoring) Tribal Representation and Assimilative Colonialism. Link: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… 🧵Ever wondered why tribal governments--despite being entirely separate from states--don't get to send their own representatives to Congress? 1/8

The Klamath River is experiencing an amazing transformation. The remaining 3 of 4 dams are coming down. This winter, Yurok crews hand planted 8.5 tons of native seeds in the former reservoirs. Now, an array of locally adapted wildflowers & grasses cover much of the clay soil.

A significant blow to the OK judiciary.

Was a busy day here at Penn with a talk McNeil Center for Early American Studies and a guest lecture in Sarah Gronningsater’s History of American Law class, but had so much fun with University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and Penn History faculty and students!

It was exciting, surprising, and - if I'm honest - scary, to be invited to write the Foreword to this year's Harvard Law Review Supreme Court issue. Those who have come before are giants in the field. And this past Term was a wild one. harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-138/… (1/x)
