So excited! havc.hr/eng/info-cen...

Today we start off the Wirth Institute's first week of 2025-2026 programming with talks, music, films all honoring Polish Women's work, innovation, and creativity. What a wonderful way to begin my time here! Join us if you can!

Congratulations to Natalia Khanenko-Friesen for receiving Ukraine's Order of Princess Olga for Outstanding Contributions to Ukrainian Studies! I've only been in Edmonton for a few weeks, but already I can tell I have much to learn from this brilliant colleague. www.ualberta.ca/en/canadian-...

Just was lucky enough to listen to an amazing talk by Héctor Muiños Olivas delivered at the @hanse-ias.bsky.social . What a thought-provoking discussion of how to write fiction/history/ and everything in between. I can't wait until his novel on John Tyndall comes out. hanse-ias.de/fellowships/...

Come to the Wirth Institute for Austrian and Central European Studies' Open House -- a chance to see where ideas, research, and international collaboration come to life! 🏠 Friday, September 12th 1-2 PM 300 Arts & Convocation Hall No RSVP required.

The Central European History Convention (CEH-C) was a huge success. The team, led by Peter Becker + Dominique Reill, are processing everything so people get paid + recognized appropriately. If you were there, share pics with us so we can include/archive them? ucloud.univie.ac.at/index.php/s/...

If you're looking for a vet in Vienna.... this place was sweet, kind, and actually got castor to go along with the indignities of a vet visit without meds. So grateful. www.tierarzt-tilzer.at

Have been sending out oodles of follow-up emails to the CEH-C conference and I can now declare one of the things that frustrates me the most: PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THEIR EMAILS LISTED ON THEIR CVs! Please, everyone, add your email addresses in plane sight whenever/wherever!

For everyone who participated in the Central European History Convention this week, we made the evening news in Austria last night! Check out timecode 20:01-20:16, where you'll see the quick CEH-C shout out (as well as pics of Peter Becker, Maureen Healey, Rob Nemes etc) on.orf.at/video/142846...

This made me laugh!

Anca: it was so exciting to hear about your new project and to see you in action with so many colleagues from all over the world.

Had such a fantastic time at #CEH-C this afternoon! It was wonderful to finally speak about Transylvania to an audience who “gets” the region & seeing so many friends and colleagues. hoping this is the first of many editions! Thank you @univie.ac.at @dominiquereill.bsky.social and everyone else!

The team at the University of Vienna’s Institute of Austrian Historical Research has been working non-stop to get everything for tomorrow’s first day on the Central European History Convention (CEHC). Come join us tomorrow! ceh-c.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/us...

One week of writing retreat before all the craziness of the Vienna conference begins. Come on, my beautiful Adriatic, work your magic!

This was such a lovely day with great colleagues, thanks to @siobhanhearne.bsky.social for bringing this to Manchester!

I’m a BIG fan of @conteurohistory.bsky.social board meetings. We learn what’s going on with the journal + publishing at large. AND I get to spend a day with a merry band of historians and laugh, talk, listen, giggle and LEARN. Just a perfect first day. Thank you @siobhanhearne.bsky.social

Tomorrow! At UManchester, let’s talk global activism, transnational history, and how to publish! Hosted by @siobhanhearne.bsky.social , Contemporary European History, and featuring Daniel Laqua, @jolaycock.bsky.social , @laurehumbert.bsky.social + the amazing CEH board! @conteurohistory.bsky.social
