A colleague recently criticized a departmental effort to teach writing to our grad students because "we all learned to write without someone teaching us." Let me explain why they're wrong.

I’ve met so many people who “hated history” in school because it was taught to them as a list of battle dates, but fell in love with it as adults when they read a witty, well-written historical biography. History is not a list of dates; it’s about people.

Every time I feel down about myself or feel like I'm not "good enough", I remember how absolutely BONKERS my presidential trivia - obsessed, always reading or writing, 5-year-old self would go if she saw this. Thanks for taking a chance on me, @MaxwellSU ! 🧡🧡🧡
