One day I wanted to engage students in my history class in a way that would make an impact. I wrote an article for this month’s issue of Perspectives on History (American Historical Association) that will blow you away about it! Read the pdf version here: www.historians.org/wp-content/u...

It's meant so much to have Robert Darnton's support over the last 10 years. For @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social and now for our @uvapress.bsky.social collection of essays. I read him in college, became enamored with cultural history, & dared to read sources differently to write histories from below.
Pick up your Age Of Revolutions companion collection! Great essays drawn from essays that first appeared on the site and others unique to the book! upress.virginia.edu/title/10176/

My copy of the newly published 'The Global Age of Revolutions' arrived in the post yesterday! My chapter is called 'The Bastille and the Roundabout: the revolutionary past of the gilets jaunes'
Just a reminder of the deep humanist roots @tlecaque.bsky.social brings to his work. This is a good reminder to not lose sight of lived experience in our historical writing. Bravo Thomas!
What if the American Revolution was also a supply‑chain crisis? This post rethinks independence through the lens of logistics, scarcity, and survival—using Nova Scotia (1783–1794) as a revealing case study.

among my favorite French Revolution details: the King's cousin, the Duke of Orleans, was so shook by the events of the revolution that he not only voted to execute his cousin but legally changed his name to Equality Phil.
One of the toughest obstacles to this volume was selecting which pieces from @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social to include. There are so many great essays. The volume is meant to be read alongside the website! www.upress.virginia.edu/author-corne...

I remember sitting by the banks of the Chatahoochee River, talking with @cindyermus.bsky.social about this volume. We knew we had the themes to publish the volume from @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social for such a book. As it turned out, it’s better than either of us imagined!
