Still finding my way around!! p.s. can't wait to get to A2 next month 😍
Latest piece, on the joy of creating courses for and teaching history to lifelong learners. The average age of my sharp, curious, and (in many cases) globe-trotting seniors? 70. "We may be old," said one such student, "but we're not dead yet."

Thank you, Emily and #GoBlue!! My Rackham degree has served me so ... well many times over!
In #AHAPerspectives, @drkyliesmith.bsky.social shares how she approaches teaching history to her nursing students. “Students need to learn a broad conception of history that explores the economic and political forces that shape their patients’ lives, as well as their own profession.” 🗃️
ICYMI!!! 👇👇👇
I'm on another panel, and swore (after back-to-backs this year,) to not do that again. Maybe. But what a superstar lineup! I'm already excited to hear what you'll share!
