Big news! I'm heading to the National Humanities Center as the next president. I'm proud to be the first woman, the first Black person, and the first person of color to lead it. Honored to start this new chapter. #Humanities #BlackWomenLead #BlackSky

My Slate piece on the widespread NEH grant cancellations is live. So much gratitude to everyone who took the time to talk with me these past few days while fighting fires on every side. #humanities #highered #neh slate.com/news-and-pol...

Say Goodbye to Small-Town Libraries and Museums, Thanks to Trump’s Latest Cuts

The NEH budget is tiny. The loss is huge.

It is a sobering thought to realize that we're watching the leaders of American universities determine whether critical thinking-- and by extension, the #humanities --are still worthwhile investments.

Woke up this morning unemployed from our federal government positions. Might we make a small request? Please spend a few minutes today browsing the names & bios of #NEH staff, most of whom are now without jobs, before the agency erases us from its memory. #humanities www.neh.gov/about/staff

A little something to take you into the weekend: Reminder of why we do what we do. Earning a living is a fine and noble thing; helping to make living an even more amazing experience is pretty special, too. Worth fighting for. #ScriptSkyUK #ScriptSky #WritingCommunity #Arts #Humanities

Every grant listed here represents hundreds of hours of work: from our applicants who submit proposals, to the program staff and peer reviewers who read them, to the grant managers who oversee awards. Are we just supposed to accept the abrupt termination of all this labor? #NEH #humanities

“You can’t just get these things online,” said Dr. Williams...Older material hasn’t been converted to a digital format, while many recent scientific & engineering journals and texts are behind a digital paywall and will be harder to access from outside the library. #histsci #histSTM #humanities 🗃️📜📚

News flash: It wasn't "the Left" that broke into the National Endowment for the Humanities, cancelled nearly all grants and programs, fired the majority of civil servant staff, and sharply narrowed the vision of what the #humanities is. Do we really need to spell this out? 🤔 #NEH

Two divisive campus leaders commissioned a report that asks an equally divisive question: Have the humanities and social sciences been corrupted by politics? https://chroni.cl/4eafiNL
