A few weeks ago we featured a crossword by Tim Beatty, a retired teacher and alum. Tim Beatty grew up in Swanton, Ohio, forty minutes northwest of Bowling Green. He attended Bowling Green State University (BGSU) between 1969 and 1976, earning both his Bachelor’s and his Master’s in history and American Culture Studies. He remembers fondly Robert Twyman as one of his history professors, enjoying the courses he taught.

≈ Comments Off on BGSU History Students, Alum at the 2024 Ohio Academy of History!
BGSU history faculty, students, and alumni attended the Ohio Academy of History Meeting last Friday and Saturday.
Dr. Mancuso and Dr. Martin attended to support grad students giving papers (Dr. Mancuso also gave an interesting paper on the history of hazing at BGSU). Chase Fleece, Chloe Kozal, McKade Schultz, and Andrea Freimuth (ACS) all gave excellent papers, as did Sara Butler-Tongate (University Archives). It was also good to see department alums attending and presenting papers. Don Eberle (PhD) and Jacob Mach (ABD, Purdue) gave well-received papers, and we also ran into Chris Blubaugh (MA).
Let’s look forward to next year’s OAH at Kent State!

Authored by Emma Brown (B.A. History, Media Production at BGSU, graduated December 2022)
Two years ago in April of 2021, I got an email from a professor I’d only ever had through an asynchronous class. It was the end of a school year spent fully online and this email was an opportunity I could only dream of. The absolutely incredible Dr. Melissa K. Miller of the political science department was working on a documentary and wanted me to be a undergraduate researcher that summer. The documentary was looking at Trailblazing Women in Ohio politics and with my history major and media production minor she thought I would be a perfect fit with the three other undergraduate researchers. Of course, I accepted!

≈ Comments Off on BGSU History MA Explores Digital Storytelling and Spatial History
Rob Carlock earned an MA in History and a Graduate Certificate in Public History from BGSU in May 2019. This fall, he will enter his second year in the PhD Program in History at George Mason University.
Bowling Green State University was my home for 6 years as I worked my way through my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in history. I then left Ohio to pursue a PhD in history at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, sadly leaving behind a support network and family I had built during my time there. It has certainly been a challenge, especially since my first year has been synchronous online learning due to COVID-19. Although I have yet to meet my peers and faculty in-person, I was able to connect with many of them and begin to forge new relationships. With my peers, my connection is definitely a sense of unity that we are tackling such a daunting task together; with the faculty, my connection is a sense of confidence and support as they encourage me to continue identifying and expanding on my interests.
