Constitution Day is here! This year, we couldn't gather in person for the conference, but Prof. Sarah Crabtree organized a fabulous virtual conference website for Constitution Day 2020: The Unfinished Work of Suffrage: https://history.sfsu.edu/constitution-day-2020. The website features keynote addresses from Prof. Rabia Belt (Stanford), about the intersection of disability and race in the campaign for women's suffrage, and Prof. Ellen DuBois (UCLA) with "surprising facts about suffrage". The site also includes interviews with prominent scholars about suffrage and women's rights, and roundtables about Kamala Harris as Vice-Presidential candidate and gender, race, and labor during the pandemic.

For all you Ancient historians. And perhaps a publishing opportunity for our own Prof. Dennis Campbell.

In memory of Paul Longmore

"Nothing is more concrete than history, nothing less interested in theories or in abstract ideas. The great historians have fewer ideas about history than amateurs do; they merely have a way of ordering their facts to tell their story. It isn’t theories they look for, but information, documents, and ideas about how to find and handle them." Eugen Weber
