Huge thank you to Just Money for spotlighting my forthcoming piece. There's still time to alert me to any goofs in the article!
Thanks, David! I really appreciate your thorough and generous engagement with my book!! @uncpress.bsky.social #History
you're right, I really do
Sobering. At Nevada's two R1 doctoral universities, @unevadareno.bsky.social and @unlv.edu, nominal average salaries for all faculty ranks actual declined by 0.7% from 2024-25 to 2025-26. After inflation, salaries are down by over 4%. Falling behind again.
This already happened for the NEH.
I understand the outrage and shock about the impact on research, but it's crtiical to understand, as ever, that science was never going to get a pass. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...
Does anyone on here have access to the International Journal of Military History and Historiography? I think there's a review of my book in the latest "advance articles" section!
Julia, Chris, and I will be at SHAFR next week! Reach out if you’d like to connect! @shafrhistorians.bsky.social
Agree re libraries, and will add that this is a devastating report in general. $10,000 a year average??
Also, I would argue anecdotally that classroom sales, traditionally a strong market for academic books, are way down in part b/c students are broke and downloading pirated books for free.

Many thanks to @lseblogs.bsky.social and @tanyaharmer.bsky.social for hosting me last night, and to all the lovely people who braved the rain and tube strike to come hear me hold forth about The Fate of the Americas!

Today, the AAUP released the Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession, 2025–26.
It is sobering.
Full-time faculty salaries are down about 0.4% in real, inflation-adjusted terms. Average full-time faculty salaries remain 9.5% below fall 2019 & about 5.8% below fall 2008.

This year's Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession finds that faculty salaries are still losing ground to inflation and expands data collection on part-time faculty pay.
