These are the books (and tchotchkes) that were in front of my books on my bookshelf.
My goodness I have a lot of books to read to “fit” in my bookshelves.
They‘re not even a small bookshelves!!
pickThis got me. Multi-genre, images, graphs, fictionalized imaginings and quotes from 100+ year-old articles. Personal history is also the history of a people.
Grad school reading on tap for today!
Thank you Aletheia- I love your card and the stickers so much! I will have the tea tonight.
Does anyone have a magic answer on how to return to normal? I‘m still spending most of my day laying down. How do people work and clean their house? There has to be a magic solution somewhere!
Another book haul. Don't act so surprised! 😉
Some of my textbooks for the semester! I have more online... Almost finished Slavery and Public History, and I've honestly learned so much about collective memory and false narratives. It's incredibly interesting and puts a lot of responsibility on the public historian to tell the historic truth, even if the public is against it.
#WordsOfOctober Day 14: These are the bright #Radiant faces of my PhD students as we welcome a guest speaker (a very dear friend of mine, Dr Ruanni Tupas) from University College London who facilitated two sessions on intercultural education and how it feeds into inclusive practices and culturally responsive pedagogy. My PhD students are coming from Djibouti, Syria/Armenia, Kuwait, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and of course UAE.
Application submitted for graduate school! Hopefully, I will start my MLS program in January!
pickTruly stunning memoir. As much a history of California's Mission Indians as it is a story of Miranda's family, and of herself. Miranda is a wry, well-researched, and thoughtful writer who tackles the joys and traumas of life with clear eyes and descriptive prose. (And she makes excellent arguments for doing away with the bullshit CA mission projects for elementary schoolers.)
