WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS PROGRAMME 🤩 And more excitement to come in 2026 as well. I often get driven to despair about the health of #earlymodern studies because of how it's deemed 'not useful' and 'unpopular in recruitment' and then I see just how much brilliant and varied work we do despite all that

If you're in Aberdeen on 17 September don't miss my colleague Professor Matt Smith's lecture on 'Twice Removed: Slavery, Big Data, and the Cultures of Caribbean Ancestral Histories'. Digital history both opens up new vistas and obscures 'the knotted histories of empire'. #Skystorians

96. 96 universities are destroying the careers of their staff (both academic & professional service), in what is pitched by every single one of them as an effort to appease the minister's drive for cost-cutting --though cutting your main resource never made you better So is it the 3 remaining ones?

‘Baroness Smith, the universities minister, said many institutions were failing to rein in spending despite demanding financial support from the government.’ Which institutions are these? We’ve seen absolute carnage in redundancies across the sector, so I’m curious which she is thinking of

4 days to gather in New Haven to ask a second time, Who Owns Black Data? This year's theme is "The Past in Danger." Carla Hayden, the most qualified person to ever hold the position of chief librarian was just fired yesterday. We don't think we exaggerate when we say the past is in danger. #wobd2025
