S2E22 Philip Shackelford - South Arkansas Community College Military Historians are People, Too!
-
- History
Today's guest is the hard-working fellow podcaster Philip Shackelford! Philip is the Director of the College Library at South Arkansas Community College in El Dorado, Arkansas. Before joining South Arkansas Community College, Philip held internships and positions at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, the University of Akron, and the Twinsburg Public Library in Twinsburg, Ohio. He earned a BA and MA in History and his MLIS from Kent State University at Kent State.
Philip serves on the Executive Committee of the Arkansas Library Association (ArLA) and was president in 2021. His 2018 article in the ArLA journal Arkansas Libraries won the ArLA LaNell Compton Prize. He also received the ArLA Emerging Leader Award in 2019. Aside from his work as a Library Director, Philip remains an active scholar. He is the author of Rise of the Mavericks: The US Air Force Security Service and the Cold War, which the US Naval Institute Press will publish in April 2023. Amazingly, he has written 30 published book reviews since 2015. Philip is also a podcaster. He is the creator and host of the Modern Scholar Podcast, one of the best academic podcasts out there - we can't recommend Modern Scholar enough!
Join us for a fascinating chat about homeschooling, getting interested in military history, being a musician with a brother who is a Nashville violin/fiddle prodigy known as the Jimi Hendrix of Violin, podcasting, AND (wait for it!) vegan BBQ alternatives! Join us as we are far outside of our comfort zone with the pleasant and enjoyable Philip Shackelford!
Philip's recent history read: The End of Victory: Prevailing in the Thermonuclear Age, by Edward Kaplan.
Philip's read-for-fun: The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups, by Daniel Coyle.
And Philip's local BBQ shout-out: JJ's BBQ!
