I am ramping down my Twitter engagement, so follow me on Bsky (@lwinling -- thanks @Crooooow) . But before I go, I want to remind you I run an online writing group for historians, this semester on Wednesday afternoons. Email me at lwinling at vt dot edu for a Zoom link.

Working with so many great people from around metro Chicago and around the country is one of the absolutely best things about being part of @ChicagoCovenant. It's really a pleasure to profile people like Connor and recognize his efforts.

Mapping Inequality has a cache of new maps and we are hiring people to write essays on those cities! Historians, planners, housing advocates -- if you are interested in writing on one of these cities, please let us know: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

I was a sophomore at Michigan for the '97 season and sort of thought, "it will always be like this." There were a couple of very good seasons after that, but it has been a long, long time, even with the last three years of success.

In some ways I’ve been waiting for this @mgoblog post since I was a freshman in college. mgoblog.com/content/way-out

One of the most fun things about this project is featuring the volunteers.

One of the challenges of this project is to keep managing of stream of researchers as they graduate and move on; one of the joys is that these researchers, like Zach, are so skilled and so enthusiastic.
28 Sep 2023
Next up in our fall features is Zach Ashby, a new member of the team. Zach was a volunteer who started coming to sessions this spring and has joined us for the fall. He is from Charlottesville, VA, and currently lives in Hyde Park, where he is a UofC student in urban studies.

To open a new season of research sessions, we are profiling several of the people involved in the Chicago Covenants Project (@ChicagoCovenant), starting with @MauraFennelly. Check it out.
20 Sep 2023
We begin with our research coordinator, Maura Fennelly (@MauraFennelly). Volunteers know Maura from the sessions she leads. She is a PhD student in sociology at Northwestern University, where she studies housing.

I cannot overstate how proud I am to be part of this project -- we've had more than 150 volunteers, have identified more than 1000 covenants, have worked through about 25% of the city of Chicago, and just got a grant to keep going. Come be a part of it!

Still figuring out your post-Labor Day plans? Volunteer with us! We are back in the Tracts Department next Friday.

Good god, techbro adminstrators just re-invented the coursepack.

Faculty will now be tasked with "individually creating" our own materials for each class and we should use AI to assist in generating our materials. We now have the honor of "becoming our own publishing house" and this emboldens our academic freedom.
This will be fun.
