Doing an independent study this year with a fantastic student on Ghosts and Canadian History. Meaning actual ghost stories and what they tell us about cultural understandings/priorities/fears in their time and place. Any recommendations? I've got Weird Willy! #CdnHist

Historian of tech @histoftech.bsky.social on how AI hype is a way of gaming the system by "reengineering society around the technology." The goal is to "create an environment—a labor environment, a regulatory environment, a user environment—that will bring that unlikely thing closer to reality."

Trying to compile a playlist of songs relating to post-1885 #CdnHist but finding it hard to find actual good ones. Any suggestions? It’s gotta be more than the Hip, right? Here’s what I have so far open.spotify.com/playlist/2dU...

Hunger can be alleviated with food. It's a pretty simple process Starvation and malnutrition, on the other hand, often require medical care and specialized food It is now safe to admit that the Palestinians are starving. They can send in boatloads of food and people will still die

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

We focused on WINE HISTORY in my #envhist #aghist class this week. The scholarship is so new, and so good! I am particularly impressed with how attentive it is to the intersection of viticulture, settler colonialism, and white supremacy. Short thread follows 🍷📖

"the Gayborhood, now celebrated as the epicenter of queer Philadelphia, emerged through a corralling and contraction of the public visibility of queer life to a smaller section of the city than in earlier decades." Max Gaida discusses the Queer Philly Mapping Project for #DSS2025

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

I’ve got an undergraduate student working with me this summer on a project focusing on Romani populations in #CdnHist. They’re producing a zine and a short article. Any recommendations for a journal they could publish the article (and maybe even companion zine, gasp!) in? It’s 4-5,000 words.

Important news for the #envhist crowd: We are hiring an Associate Professor of Environmental History! www.jobbnorge.no/en/available... Application deadline is August 7. Some tips for those interested from abroad in thread 👇

University gen AI training is presented as addressing a deficit in us. Staff and students need to be taught how to use it ethically and responsibly. But the problem is with the technology itself. It’s inherently unethical and irresponsible: extractive, imperialistic, delusional, and unsustainable.

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.

Thinking of assigning a collective quilt in a class next term. Does anyone have experience doing this, either physically or digitally?

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

Just landed in Victoria, BC and told my toddler it was named after an evil queen who hated her children and hurt people for riches. I love being a historian!

Five years today, the statue of Edward Colston was pulled down in Bristol. Boris Johnson accused protestors of trying to "photoshop" the past and "lie about our history". I'm reposting below a thread I wrote at the time: on history, memory, and how we decide who to celebrate in our public spaces.🧵

"Settlers began, starting in the mid-19th century, to appropriate the pervasive discourse of climatic determinism to support their own identity." - @blairstein.bsky.social niche-canada.org/2015/09/28/i... #envhist #cdnhist #climhist
