We agree, and at the PCB-AHA, we work hard to make sure our conferences are pleasant experiences.
"For rookie & experienced attendees alike, there is no shortage of advice about how to make conferences work for yourself. But established scholars have a second obligation to make conferences work for others..." Superb advice from Benjamin Carp chronicle.com/article/were-n…
Continuing with PCB-AHA award winners ... @Prof_NataliaM won the Norris and Carol Hundley Award for best book by a scholar living in our region for A Place at the Nayarit: How a Mexican Restaurant Nourished a Community, published by @ucpress. Congratulations!
The winner is Joseph David Schiller of @OUHistDept for “Zombie Miners: Life, Death, and Reanimation in the Wide Rural Rust Belt.” He is now with @OUPress.
More winners to come!
First, our awards from @PacHistReview. The W. Turrentine Jackson Award for outstanding dissertation on the history of the American West in the twentieth century. It is named for a longtime professor at @History_UCDavis who specialized in western and public history. 2/
