Knowing there was a shortage of article reviewers during and after 2020, I decided to say yes to every article review request I felt qualified to do. I've now reviewed nearly a dozen and have some random insights to share, mostly for grad students and early career folks.

On archives: when I began grad school I was so immobilized by the fact that the women I wanted to write about weren’t visible in archival documents that I almost abandoned the project. It wasn’t until I began expanding my definition of archives that the project became possible.

For those who read Ukrainian: our wonderful colleague, Tetiana Boriak, has just published her (massive) book on the informative value of oral histories as a source for studying the Holodomor. It’s a fantastic resource for researchers. resource.history.org.ua/item…

#OnThisDay in 1955, Montgomery, Alabama teen Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat to a white woman on a city bus. Decades after her refusal to relinquish her seat she said of her protest, “History had me glued to the seat.” #WomensHistoryMonth #SmithsonianWHM

Did you know that an entire Manhattan village owned by black people was destroyed to build Central Park.
The community was called Seneca Village. It spanned from 82nd Street to 89th Street.
Successful Black Communities and Towns.
