Well done to the entire Team!

Yesterday my students and I completed our second week learning about the Cambodian Genocide. We realised that this year was 50 years since the Khmer Rouge came to power and that at least here in Australia this passed with little if no acknowledgment…

In our recent volume, 'Forced Migration: Exiles and Refugees in the UK and the British Empire', @anilliams.bsky.social contributed a chapter on the forced deportation of Liverpool's Chinese seamen at the end of WWII. @andrekosvarnava.bsky.social @yiannicart.bsky.social brill.com/display/book...

My talk on 12 Oct 2025 “Cypriot Migration to Australia until 1952: ‘Undesirable’ Migrants and the ‘Corsica’ Cypriots” as part of the Odyssey Festival. The talk is based on my forthcoming book with Brill. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mloT...

Check out Tanja Bueltmann's review of our recent volume on Forced Migration with @degruyterbrill.bsky.social in @imm-min-journal.bsky.social - doi.org/10.1080/0261... @andrekosvarnava.bsky.social @evansmithhist.bsky.social @dgb-history.bsky.social

The @telegraphnews.bsky.social, @dailymail.co.uk and @thespectator1828.bsky.social have all promoted Nigel Biggar’s latest book as the definitive riposte to reparations claims. But what exactly are its arguments and how do they stand up to scrutiny? alanlester.co.uk/blog/the-ant...

I've started developing this essay into an article on Zionism and Enotism... Already getting interesting. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

New book review by Darren Reid for @jich.bsky.social "Colonial Extraction and Industrial Steam Power, 1790–1880: Decarbonising Imperial History", edited by Liz Conor www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Absolutely correct. It was always about killing the subjects, not the money. Because Humanities programs pay for themselves, unlike STEM etc. www.chronicle.com/article/they...

When politicians start policing history, you're firmly in the realms of autocracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/a...

New article hot off the press www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

‘…I have not seen such a lack of vision, such a vacuum of ideas, such general disorganisation, nor such cavalier decision-making about institutions and programs built up through hard work over decades’ - Prof Frank Bongiorno (national treasure) on ANU cuts www.canberratimes.com.au/story/901516...

Looking for any scholarly stuff on the demographic composition of contemporary Australian extreme right. Like gender, age, class, geography, etc

Catch the talk that Mike Hajimichael and I gave at the AAEH in Auckland on 10 July titled 'Colonialism, EOKA and Ochlocracy in British Cyprus: The Mob Killing of Savvas Menikos in 1958'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlte...

Just 32% of those who would consider voting for a Corbyn-led party say it is the party they are most likely to consider voting for, including only 9% saying it is the only party they would consider voting for (of the main national parties) yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

I see lots of propaganda again repeating the same myths about the events in Cyprus from July 1821. This talk sets that record straight. Chapter also published in a book for more updated version. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4i0...

Facebook reminds me that it is five years since my book came out in the middle of the pandemic. Tough times to generate much fanfare! Social media was the main outlet.

This article by @saracoos.bsky.social on the expulsion, resettlement and statelessness of Ugandan Asians in 1970s was part of a special issue of @imm-min-journal.bsky.social that I co-edited with @andrekosvarnava.bsky.social and Marinella Marmo in 2022. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I say @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social why not call it 'Independent Labour Party'?

I did not know this: “Soccer” originated in 19th c. England to differentiate association football (soccer) from rugby football (rugger). Fascinating. “Anyone who pretends that soccer is purely an Americanism and football always has been the term used in England is simply incorrect.”

So in less than 2 months my essay on 'EOKA 70 Years On' that I never planned to write is the most viewed/downloaded on @jich.bsky.social for the last year! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
