I am delighted to announce that I have been awarded the Herbert Baxter Adams Prize for “A Global Enlightenment.” Many thanks to all my fantastic friends and colleagues who helped me write it and to the American Historical Association for this extraordinary honor.

The AHA is pleased to announce the winners of its 2024 prizes, which honor exceptional books, distinguished teaching and mentoring in the classroom, public history, and other historical projects. Congratulations to the 2024 awardees! #AHAPerspectives historians.org/perspectives-a…

This French thread makes me sympathetic to Jacques Toubon. Hip French is basically an English creole now.

“We've had protests in the past, but they haven't pitted students against each other,” @Stanford’s president told me. In a candid series of interviews between Sept. and Mar. we discussed his thorny role: “It’s been kind of a rollercoaster to be honest.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
