In case you missed it...

I was a guest on An Academic Odyssey podcast last year where I discussed research assistantships, postdocs, and growing up in academia.

Have you ever wondered...is that bird a crow or a raven?

My father, Norm Ellstrand, discusses this question in his latest column for The Raincross Gazette, "Naturally Riverside."

Public history instructors: Have you taught "Museums," "Material Culture," or "Archives" in the past? If so, would you mind sharing your syllabus?

#throwback to visiting Plaza México in the Los Angeles suburb of Lynwood, California.

The shopping mall attempts to recreate a colonial Mexican city with its architecture and a plaza. There are even replicas to the Ángel de la Independencia and the Piedra del Sol.

Paella tip: 1. cook the seafood individually 2. cook the rice/fideos & place the cooked seafood on top toward the end. It is *very hard* to cook different types of seafood all at once w/ the carbs without overcooking the seafood! Big secret is make a hearty seafood broth b/c it flavors the carbs.

I’m not saying that I went to the AHA24 conference just to get this picture… but I’m not not saying that, either. 🙃🤩 Yes, the plenary session on Rethinking the Far Right in American History was excellent and all the panelists were insightful and thought provoking… but did I mention… 🤩🫠

#AHA24/#AHA2024 - I'll be at the conference this weekend!

If I've never met you in person, it'd be great to do so.

If you're a graduate student or early career scholar and would like to chat, let me know
