Anna is a great example of someone w/out a history PhD (her PhD is in political science) who cares deeply about the key principles of the historical method--immersion in the sources & recognition that the past is a foreign country. You don't need a history PhD to write an important work of history!
Can hardly believe it but there it is!!
Great way to get ready for aphc this week

Plenary tonight was an incredible conversation about the Supreme Court with @gauthamrao.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net @nikobowie.bsky.social @rachelshelden.bsky.social @stevevladeck.bsky.social @kmtani.bsky.social. Several books from this crew I can't wait to read.
