I think it’s also important that the more it is investigated now, the greater a paper trail it creates for historians when we do write about it. Historians are (obviously) reliant on sources and those sources determine what kinds of histories get written.

Academia is a flawed profession to be sure, but it’s at its best when we nurture and support each other, when we seek opportunities to stand in solidarity with one another. This is one of the biggest problems with the myth of the lone scholar.

Guess I’m headed back to the archives this summer! Just accepted a Franklin Research Grant from @AmPhilSociety to work on a new book project unearthing everyday experiences of democratization in post-WWII Germany. I’ll be headed to collections in Freiburg and Munich πŸŽ‰

The absolute highlight from this year’s #gsa2023 was my panel with Richard Wetzell and @MerleIngenfeld on Germany’s queer 20th century!! From @CB_Ewing ’s amazing comment to the incredibly engaged audience, it was a joy to present new work alongside these two brilliant colleagues.

Reading @ArmisteadMaupin ’s More Tales of the City. If anything it’s even funnier than the original.
