Since the deaths of British mountaineers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine in 1924, histories of the mountain have overwhelmingly focused on the mythologies of western male adventure & conquest. But there are many more stories waiting to be told. Other Everests, out next month.

100 years ago today George Mallory and Sandy Irvine were last seen on #Everest. Edward Shebbeare and Bentley Beetham built a memorial cairn (no longer extant) at Everest Base Camp to all those who died on the 1920's Everest expeditions (1/2) #Indigenous #History #Himalaya

7 June 1924 six Sherpa & Bhotia porters climbed down from Camp VI on Everest with notes from George Mallory. They carried the oxygen for the summit attempt. Their names were Bom, Nurbu Yshye, Senchumbi, Lopsang Bhote, Lhakpa Chedi and Ang Pemba #Indigenous #History #Himalaya

Hi. I'm a historian of the present and a lot of the teaching I do is via op-eds, social media, tweets, and conversations outside of the academy. I'm also a member of the @AHAhistorians I want my scholarship recognized & valued in all fora, not just in single-authored monographs.
