Really enjoying Steven Hyden’s new book on Born in the USA. It also pairs pretty neatly with another book that’s been on my mind recently. (Ryan was a midwesterner through and through—and a huge Springsteen fan.) 🗃️

Corrections to the proofs are in. Physical galleys should be available this week or next week. (Holler if you’d like a physical ARC for reviewing purposes.) Next step: indexing.

I won’t, unfortunately! But I’ll be at AmStud in Baltimore this November and (probably) the OAH in Chicago next year. Can’t wait to learn more about your project!

Such a great panel. Your work on Bob Currie is so fascinating. Wish we had had some more time to chat about the concept of “backlash,” though! Another time, hopefully.

A journal for which I'm reviewing a book sent me some instructions. Pretty standard. But one of these instructions read, "We expect that reviews will be written without the use, wholly or partially, of artificial intelligence tools." Any other reviewers encountered such language?

Hey, look, yet another campus settling this peacefully. It's almost like the university presidents that called in armed police to their campuses to handle their own students made an incredibly stupid mistake and should be forever banned from leading an educational institution.
