This was such a pleasure to work on! Go and read @dacretu.bsky.social’s excellent book (after you listened to the podcast 😜).

Published today: My long read of @karolinarogalska.bsky.social's new book Ziemie [Lands: Stories of Recovery and Loss]. It's a Polish book about the "Recovered Territories" and post-1945 displacement. I poured all my love for the subject into this text. Enjoy! ceureviewofbooks.com/longread/a-b...

📣 New Long Read! @agatumilowicz.bsky.social explores Karolina Ćwiek-Rogalska’s Ziemie. Historie odzyskiwania i utraty (Radio Naukowe, 2024), a study of Poland’s post-1945 border shifts, German expulsions, and Polish displacement. ceureviewofbooks.com/longread/a-b...

I really enjoyed recording this episode. Go and have a listen!

Such a wonderful list by @nmw1.bsky.social! And many CEU Press books featured, which makes me very happy. 😊

Have you published an article in Slavic/EE/Eurasian/Gender Studies (15 Apr 2024–15 Apr 2025)? I’m chairing the Heldt Article Prize committee (Association for Women in Slavic Studies)—consider applying! Check out other categories (books, translations). Deadline: 31 May awsshome.org/awards/heldt...

It's Women's History Month. Because the offerings are so broad, I'm posting books, often about women & agender, by women in my field, HABSBURG Central Europe. Nope, not Germany! First, by Mo Healy, whose book from earlier this century has changed the field. Among the best books on World War I.

Wrote a short review of a book I thoroughly enjoyed! 🙏@anditalaber.bsky.social for a very smooth and professional editing experience, 🙏 @ceureviewofbooks.bsky.social for creating an aesthetically and conceptually fresh and appealing outlet for book reviews (and more) on Central and Eastern Europe.

📢 Job update! 🥳 Happy to say that I started a new position as Commissioning Editor at CEU Press. If you have a book project that you think would be a good fit, I would be happy to discuss it! I’m also carrying on as the Managing Editor of the @ceureviewofbooks.bsky.social.

When good things happen to nice ppl: Ambika Natarajan's wonderful book, Servants of Culture Paternalism, Policing, and Identity Politics in Vienna, 1700-1914, has been shortlisted for the Waterloo Centre for German Studies Book Prize 2023. Link to her interview: uwaterloo.ca/centre-for-g...

New interview out on the @ceureviewofbooks.bsky.social site! Managing Editor, @anditalaber.bsky.social talked to Eva Taterová about her project exploring the role of Czechoslovak diplomacy in the Arab-Israeli conflict from 1948 to 1989. ceureviewofbooks.com/interview/in...

I got one of the bouquets! Also, František Palacký appears to be better looking than Gregor Mendel, but I suppose it's a matter of taste.

🎧 New podcast episode out now! Listen to Mariia Shuvalova, Kateryna Zarembo and Roman Horbyk as they discuss how Russian imperialism has impacted the study of Ukrainian history, literature and culture and contemplate the future of the field. Link here: ceureviewofbooks.com/podcast/what...

What a year it has been! Many thanks for all your support for the CEURB. We will be back with more in 2024! Till then happy holidays and a happy New Year! www.instagram.com/reel/C1Hqheh...

I just sent something really cool off that I cannot talk about yet, but I’m really super excited about! 🤐😫😅❤️ Stay tuned until the end of November.

Hans Kundnani’s Eurowhiteness (Hurst, 2023) provides a critique of the EU and what he claims is its rootedness in “imperial amnesia”. Ferenc Laczó writes that Kundnani’s focus on western Europe leads him to overlook today's Russian imperialism. Read it here: ceureviewofbooks.com/longread/the...

Still interested!

Damn, the Masaryk Institute Archives just dropped this, & uh. Is it Christmas today?! Seriously?! 👀😻✨🎉 masaryk.mua.cas.cz historiansky historysky etc (i have no clue which keywords to use tbh 😬)

Now that I have a week off I might actually finish the cardigan I promised my partner for her birthday last year. 🥳🥳

New review on @ceureviewofbooks.bsky.social!

Spotted on my way to work. Yay, early morning commute…

Continuing on the introductory Blue Sky "shameless self-promotion" streak, I am sharing an article I wrote some time ago about Ukrainian refugees, migration, and plants. It's one of those pieces I hold dearly in my heart. www.triangle.house/migrating-ga...

The @ceureviewofbooks.bsky.social is now on Blue Sky too! Follow us for excellent book reviews, long reads and interviews, and for some great podcast episodes!

Still taking baby steps, but hoping to find the vibrant and inspiring community of historians here now that the birdie site is in obvious decline. Looking forward to sharing my research #SocialistWomenGlobal and building/strengthening my networks further.

Don’t usually share my food pics, but omg this turned out super yummy! Homemade tagliatelle with emmer wheat and mushroom cream sauce. Also has a tomato-mozzarella salad and sourdough focaccia (that one is not homemade, but from an amazing bakery here in Athens).

No idea what I’m doing here, but while I figure it out, go and read our new review on the CEU Review of Books site: ceureviewofbooks.com/review/entan...
