I had the privilege of presenting at the AHA conference this past weekend in Chicago. This is the poster I presented on Folk Music and Cold War Culture. It came out of my dissertation. #aha26 #Histodon #history #folk

It's the @ucpress.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy book display at #AHA26! Thrilled to see the book cover with the silvery oval mirror on the crimson background on the banner (left), on the table & on the front of the catalogue: HUMANS: A MONSTROUS HISTORY! For nerds with a conscience, this booth is not to be missed. 1/
