The Department of History is profoundly saddened to share that Dr. Ronald C. Brown, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, passed away on November 6, 2026. Dr. Brown will be greatly missed. During his full 50 years at the university, he stood out as a groundbreaking and award-winning scholar of the American West, an innovative and much-beloved teacher, and a wise and trusted administrator at the center of the development of the honors program, the College of General Studies, and innumerable resources to promote student success. Since first announcing Dr. Brown’s untimely passing, the department has been flooded with messages from former colleagues and students. Without exception, these messages reflect the shock we all feel at the loss of his sense of humor and his vibrant, creative, and caring energy. We will remember Ron as a model colleague and unending inspiration to connect with people in our work and in our communities with curiosity, gratitude, sincerity, kindness, and delight in doing good.

Would there have been an English Invasion if it weren’t for the Lomaxes?
Last Wednesday, John Lomax III joined us at Brazos Hall for Lomax on Lomax, an afternoon tracing 150 years of his family’s work to discover, record, and preserve America’s folk music.
With a cappella singing and plenty of stories, John walked us through the songs tied to his grandfather John Avery Lomax, his uncle Alan, and his father, John Avery Lomax Jr., starting with the cattle drives his grandfather encountered as a boy in the late 1800s.
Showing a slide with a Victrola and speaking of his grandfather, "He took the cone, strapped it to his horse, and off he would ride, in search of cowboy songs."
Lead Belly’s story is woven all through the Lomax legacy, and John made the case for just how far that reach goes. He shared George Harrison’s take, as quoted by author John Reynolds: no Lead Belly, no Lonnie Donegan, and no Lonnie Donegan, no Beatles. And as John pointed out, no John Avery Lomax, no Lead Belly.
Along the way we heard “Streets of Laredo,” “Long John,” and “Midnight Special,” plus stories behind the recordings, like Alan Lomax being the first to record Woody Guthrie. John even gave us a preview of what he’ll be up to with Marty Stuart on the Grand Ole Opry stage soon.
Thank you, John, for sharing your family’s remarkable legacy, and thanks to everyone who came out!

Lomax on Lomax’ features John Lomax III taking the audience through 150 years of the family’s tireless efforts to discover, record, preserve, and present the music of our shared folk heritage. John III’s presentation features his a capella singing, cowbell licks, and stories about the songs, singers, and circumstances of their documentation and recording. John will present songs associated with his grandfather, John Avery Lomax, uncle Alan, aunt Bess Lomax Hawes and father, John Avery Lomax, Jr. Lead Belly’s history is intertwined with the Lomax legacy, so the presentation includes numerous songs of his.

✨ Graduate Student Spotlight: Rinko Inatomi ✨
Rinko Inatomi is a first-year M.A. student in the History program at Texas State University. Originally from Japan, she holds a bachelor's degree in humanities from Ritsumeikan University. During her undergraduate studies, she studied abroad in New Mexico, an experience that sparked her interest in U.S. history.
As an undergraduate, Rinko conducted senior research in Native American education and ethnic inequality, examining how ethnic disparities in education affect Native Americans today.
In her graduate studies at Texas State University, Rinko aims to develop her research on the influence of U.S. history on racial and gender identities as well as community formation. Specifically, she is interested in the experiences of Japanese Americans and the ways their identities and communities transformed before, during, and after World War II. She is also interested in how the experiences of Japanese American women were shaped through U.S. history, including the impact of social status, gender expectations, and stereotypes associated with being immigrants or Asian on their lives.
When she's not studying or conducting research, Rinko enjoys watching dramas and movies. She has also recently started watching anime, and her current favorite is The Apothecary Diaries. In addition, she loves sports, especially volleyball, and hopes to continue enjoying them during her time at Texas State.
Join us in spotlighting Rinko and the research she is pursuing at Texas State as she continues her graduate studies.

⚾ History professor or Milwaukee Brewer? Take your best guess.
Professor David Charles Robinson is a Milwaukee native, lifelong Brewers fan, and hardcore baseball enthusiast. Before entering academia, Professor Robinson produced Brewers game telecasts for Fox Sports North. To celebrate the Brewers' World Series championship, he brought two of his greatest passions together, baseball and history, turning an ordinary class into a memorable experience for his students.
Some professors bring slides. Others bring the whole ballpark.
