My interest in historical research was sparked by the history of computing; it's an honor to become a Tomash Fellow. I'm so excited to work with CBI archives and researchers on this project and contribute to their mission of pushing the field in new and important directions

We told the Secretary that we believe building strong and strike-ready unions is one of the best ways to hold powerful institutions accountable!

WE WON! This week, over 2000 Penn grad workers cast ballots. After eligible votes were tallied, the final count was 1807 to 97. It's official. The majority of eligible voters turned out to the polls. Penn graduate workers have resoundingly declared: WE WANT A UNION AT PENN!

Four years ago during the early months of COVID, Penn grad workers, almost all of whom had no organizing experience, started huddling on zoom. Last week, we won our election for what AFL-CIO found to be the largest new private sector union in Philly history!
