What is History?📜 🏛️ 📚 The study of history in the University of Cincinnati's College of Arts and Sciences gives students the tools to examine and understand the world of the present by examining and learning about the world of the past. Each student designs a course of study tailored around those elements of the past that most fascinate them, whether a geographic region (e.g. Europe, Asia, the United States, Latin America) or a theme that crosses regional and temporal boundaries (e.g. religion and culture; race, ethnicity and inequality; law and society; globalization and transregional connections; technology, science and medicine).

As a parent of four young teenagers/tweens who have cell phones, I can admit my lack of preparation in approaching social media safety. What I love about Joseph Barnes approach, is the focus on parental engagement and active, intentional discussion. Awareness and talking to kids about the risk factors and dangers is key, not once, but continuously. Curosity and compassion fosters dialogue, in addition to modeling the importance of responsible social media use. A great reminder to put the phones down and talk directly to our kids about the impacts of social media addiction and overuse. #socialmedia #teensafety

Coates, R. D. (2024). In Search of the Truth. In Critical Race Theory and the Search for Truth (pp. 17-48). Bristol University Press. Abstract: This chapter begins by examining the musings of W.E.B. Du Bois. In the process, we argue that the double consciousness he identifies can be used to discover the “truth”. Specifically, it is argued that the history of America and Western imperialism is not one history but multiple histories. Further, these histories are best understood as parallel realities. So, concerning the Blacks, they found themselves creatures of two worlds. To be African and to be American, object and subject. Therefore, it is not a question of the European version of history or that of the African (or any other racialized group). Rather it is a question of understanding how both coexist and that what is truly “critical” about Critical Race Theory (CRT) is the ability to explore both roads, both realities. The chapter concludes by offering a set of CRT assumptions. DOI: https://lnkd.in/gq6Edky3

ALERT ALERT! 📢 We have SUCH exciting news to share with YOU! In the fading years of the Gilded Age, Louisville emerged as an important center of Kentucky history, thanks to the efforts of the Filson Club (now the Filson Historical Society). Founded in 1884, the Filson Club fostered discussions and launched public history initiatives that can seem strikingly modern today. Dubbed “Benefactors of Posterity” by one founder, the Filson was often in the vanguard of collection and commemoration, rivaling more established historical societies in the East. Its output was also deeply mired in systemic racism and Jim Crow culture, and members actively worked to distort and erase the history of African Americans and Native Nations. Written during the organization’s 140th anniversary, historian Daniel Gifford recreates a 360-degree view of the Filson’s founding era. Benefactors of Posterity revises our understanding of key moments in Louisville and Kentucky history, including Enid Yandell’s Daniel Boone statue; the Southern Exposition; Louisville’s public parks; and the Ku Klux Klan. It is an explicit and intentional reckoning with the Filson Historical Society’s past, one that reverberates with the challenges facing our communities in the 21st century.
