"The Sound of War" conference at FUB
I’ve been watching this conference in CFP-stage and now the full program is here, and it looks really good. If you have a chance to attend, it looks to be well worth it. See the link above for the full conference program, but here is the description from the webpage: Conference Date: September 27, 2023 – September 29, 2023 Location: Germany Subject Fields: Cultural History /…

IMC Leeds Conference Retrospective, July 3-6, 2023
Every July, a couple thousand scholars of Middle Ages descend on the old industrial city of Leeds, United Kingdom, for the International Medieval Congress, or IMC Leeds for short. This is not to be confused with the U.S.-based International Congress of Medieval Studies (ICMS) in Kalamazoo, Michigan, which takes place a couple months prior. The latter tends to draw more literary scholars. Leeds…

So you're writing a paper on Nazi Germany...
So you’re writing a paper on Nazi Germany…
As I finalize my Nazi Germany course materials for another semester, I was reminded that last year I wrote up some guidance for my students when they start the war-and-genocide paper. If this strikes anyone as useful, please adapt and modify and use as you please. The paper should be structured with an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.Do not spend a lot of time in the body of the paper…

Texts of State Bills 'outlawing' 'CRT'
Texts of State Bills ‘outlawing’ ‘CRT’
I wanted a handy list of the text of all bills passed and currently in draft that “ban” “critical race theory.” It’s remarkable how often you’ll have a news story that doesn’t link to the actual bill… The Hill has a post from June 9 that has summaries and links, with a note that it will be updated as necessary: The states taking steps to ban critical race theory. Take time to actually read the…

Reblogged from Time: Dozens Killed in Deadliest Day of Myanmar Coup
YANGON, Myanmar — As Myanmar’s military celebrated the annual Armed Forces Day holiday with a parade Saturday in the country’s capital, soldiers and police elsewhere reportedly killed dozens of people as they suppressed protests in the deadliest bloodletting since last month’s coup. A count issued by an independent researcher in Yangon who has been compiling…Dozens Killed in Deadliest Day of…

German 7th Army in Normandy
German 7th Army in Normandy
I finally got my copy of Defending Fortress Europe, and it’s a great read. It’s been nice to get back, in a limited way, to the military history of WW2. In particular, I read carefully the last entries Reardon gives in the book, on Operation Cobra (since I’ve wargamed that scenario so often). What was most remarkable was how utterly out of touch the army command was with what was happening on…

Boydell Spring Sale ends tomorrow
This is a plug for Boydell’s excellent spring sale, and more particularly for my friend Christopher Berard’s book Arthurianism in Early Plantagenet England, which is available for pre-order in paperback.

Here we go again: Nazi Germany course syllabus, Spring 2021
I’m looking forward to getting back to it again. Not only do we get an extra week this year, but I recover at least two class periods from not going to conferences. So, there’s more time to discuss the end of the war in 1945, the afterlife of Nazism and fascism, and the inner workings or disfunctions of the Nazi government. This last is not represented on the syllabus, but will be a separate…

Slavery and the American Revolution
Slavery and the American Revolution
This is a quiz I made for my History 201 course in the fall. It’s a pretty major assignment for a quiz, but my students handled it very well. Several found it eye-opening and engaging beyond what they expected. Not only does it set up one of our discussions on the American Revolution, it also sets up the historiography, some of the key primary sources, and shows students how historians frame…

Bartolus of Saxoferrato on Guelfs and Ghibellines
Bartolus of Saxoferrato on Guelfs and Ghibellines
Jonathan Robinson, PhD from Toronto, has a wonderful page of publications and translations that will enhance any medieval course. Most are centered around William of Ockham and other related topics. Some great stuff as well on Bartolus of Saxoferrato, in particular this translation of his treatise on Guelfs and Ghibellines: Click to access bartolus_de-guelphis-et-gebellinis.pdf

Romuald of Salerno on the Battle of Legnano, May 29, 1176
Romuald of Salerno on the Battle of Legnano, May 29, 1176
Again, a bit rough in spots–I left many phrases in their more direct translation, rather than in their more “cleaned up” English equivalents. But still, many interesting details in this account of Barbarossa’s defeat by the Lombard League army northwest of Milan in 1176. Romuald of Salerno, Annales, MGH SS XIX, pp. 441-442. While these things were happening, Philip archbishop of Cologne with…

To Slack or Not to Slack
I’ve long contemplated using Slack as a substitute for my discussion boards, since the Canvas LMS discussion boards are, in my opinion anyway, just…sad. But I’ve been told there’s little prospect of getting the company to overhaul them, and YellowDig, though it looks awesome, is well outside our school’s price range (I and our head librarian evaluated the latter for the school, and our eyes…

Shave Horse Videos
A shave horse has become a bit of a priority for me as I continue to experiment with wood working, and these are some videos I’ve enjoyed watching to generate ideas before diving into the project (I did start one, but it’s turned into a simple bench…):

This is rough in a few places, but mostly a pretty solid translation of Muzio de Monza’s Gibelline Piacenza Annals, recording the prelude to the battle, the battle, and the aftermath of the Battle of Cortenuova on November 27, 1237: Annales Placentini Gibellini, MGH SS XVIII, pp. 476-477 Meanwhile the Milanese with the carroccio and 1000 knights of Piacenza, as well as knights of Vercelli,…

Bombast: Frederick Douglass on obituaries for Lee
Bombast: Frederick Douglass on obituaries for Lee
From The National Era, November 10, 1870. The famous Douglass commentary on obituaries for Robert E. Lee. I’ve seen it in images, and figured I’d do a transcription and link to the archive at the Library of Congress.
Bombast
“How sleep the brave who sink to rest, by all their country’s wishes blest,” occurs in four-fifths of the newspaper obituaries of Gen. Lee. —Exchange

November 10 1870: Has Not the Republican Party Accomplished its Mission?
From The New National Era, at the LOC after Frederick Douglass had taken over direction of the paper.
November 10, 1870.
Timid and doubting Republicans have sometimes asked us this question. Our answer has ever been No! emphatically No! Accomplished its mission! What is its mission? for the whole question hinges and is predicated upon just this simple and plain proposition; for what…
