Tomorrow my 100th #ScholarSunday thread of great public scholarly writing & work, podcast episodes & conversations, new & forthcoming books will drop. I was trying to think of how to celebrate a centennial of sharing y’all’s amazing work, & then it hit me:
I started these threads because I saw so much great work & I was worried it was getting lost in the flood. Hopefully the threads have helped highlight the goodness week to week, but it’s still sometimes too easy for all those vital words to come and go. So:
Here’s a Google Doc sharing all 99 of my #ScholarSunday threads to date. I’ll pin it; dip in when & where you’re able, share if you can, & revisit all this amazing work from well more than two years of public scholarly goodness:

My #ScholarSunday threads are taking a holiday weekend & will return next week. Keep up the great writing & work, all!
Today, in honor of my newest blog Guest Post, I wanted to share all of this year’s great Guest Posts (the most in one year ever!). #twitterstorians

It's been almost 9 years since I created the #ScholarSunday hashtag. raulpacheco.org/ScholarSunday
I was tired of the long lists of #FollowFriday Twitter IDs and wanted to make something more focused on academia/scholarly life.
Shepherding the hashtag takes a lot of time.

BUT, this morning, as I write my keynote for tomorrow (this is a practice I got from watching @zephoria write hers and post them on to her website), I am thinking about several people to whom I owe my thinking for this particular keynote. So here are a few recommended follows:
First off, @AWutich from whom I learn SO MUCH about SO MANY THINGS. I follow Dr. Wutich for various reasons, but one of the key ones is her scholarship on water insecurity, but also her mastery of qualitative methods (AE of the journal @MethodsField) #ScholarSunday
As my hometown of #Charlottesville completes a weekend of overdue statue removals w/UVa’s Clark statue this morning, wanted to make this week’s #ScholarSunday thread a bit different: pieces & voices to help contextualize this moment! #twitterstorians
Gotta preface the thread by shouting out the amazing young scholar & activist (and fellow Charlottesville High School alum) most responsible for getting us to this moment, @ZyahnaB (& all those @TakeEmDownCVL):
zyahnabryant.com
zyahnabryant.com
First, a handful of the many scholars who’ve been doing the work for years. @HilaryGreen77 has created an excellent database of statue & monument histories & removals:

Last week my friends @PedagogyAmLitSt shared a tweet about how #ScholarSunday threads tend to highlight the same, often already established & prominent voices. I hope my Sunday threads have been varied, but I totally get how that can happen even when unintended. So+
For this week’s brief #ScholarSunday thread I wanted to do something a bit different: highlighting a few of the many grad students & NTT folks from whom I’ve learned so much & whom we should all be following. In no particular order:
Gotta start with those awesome @PedagogyAmLitSt folks, which includes @GregSpecter, @CaitlinLeeKelly, @SilasLapham, & Brianna Jacquette (who might not be on twitter any more). Always amazing AmericanStudying & teaching content!
Looking for reading material to help you stay comfy & warm on this frigid January day? Well, it’s easy as another #ScholarSunday morning thread of public scholarly work from the last week! #twitterstorians
