Ytori Magazine Features History Department Accomplishments

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Fall/Winter 2025 Ytori issue has been released! Click here to see the latest issue. The issue features a number of accomplishments from the Department of History, including:

  • The Florida-focused issue opens with a quote from David Colburn, former UF Provost and member of the Department of History for more than 40 years.  He observes that Florida’s “legacy as a state and our heritage as a people are much fuller and more remarkable than most would believe.”
  • Steve Noll has authored a short and very thoughtful essay on Florida’s manatees. You can read his essay here.
  • UF History alum F. Evan Nooe has his book, Aggression and Sufferings: Settler Violence, Native Resistance, and the Coalescence of the Old South, featured in the books section.
  • Nancy Hunt‘s edited volume, Psychiatric Contours: New African Histories of Madness is also featured in the books section, as is the latest volume in Raanan Rein‘s series, Jewish Latin America: Issues and Methods (it’s the 19th in the series!).
  • Leanna McClellan‘s CLAS Administrative Excellence Award is noted in the “CLAS Distinctions” section—with a photo as well!
  • Mike Gannon and David Colburn are featured as the two “Gator Historians” included along the first inductees into the Florida Humanities Hall of Fame
  • And then, finally, on the inside back cover, a short feature on Jamin Wells and his vision for the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program.
