Weekend Roundup

  • Harvard University continues to make great hires in legal history. Earlier this year, we noted Myisha Eatmon's move. This week, we learned that Erika Lee and George Aumoithe will also join the faculty this year.
  • Kate Masur on Until Justice Be Done on the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop’s YouTube channel.
  • Leslie Jean Reagan on life before Roe vs. Wade (LX News).  Here’s the Joint OAH-AHA Statement on Dobbs. And here's the recording of that OAH webinar on the decision.
  • The latest newsletter of the Historical Society of the DC Circuit is available.
  • ICYMI: You know things are grim when the latest historian's op-ed on the Supreme Court is on the rise of Napoleon (Christine Adams, in WaPo). Also, Hayden Thorne, a PhD Candidate in History at the Victoria University of Wellington, weighs in.  And Bruce W. Dearstyne on the 1922 report by the American Bar Association’s Committee on American Citizenship (HNN). Standing Bear’s pipe tomahawk has been repatriated (Harvard Crimson)
