The commemoration of the massive (and tragic) Donghak peasant rebellion of 1894 in Jeongeup, South Korea. The columns refer to the 90 places involved and the names of the identified victims are added to each year. The ring reminds us never to forget. There is no memorial like this to 1789 in France.

Brilliant article by Brooke Boney on why acknowledging First Peoples matters and the real reason why some people won't. www.theage.com.au/national/wel...

A superb example of environmental history which integrates sensory experience, cultural identity, art, politics and economics in a beautifully written and gorgeous book.

A name used in my favourite Artois family… Memorial slab, with #MementoMori skull, in St Martin's, Carvin, to Robert Antoine & Barbe Catherine Duquesne, children of Jean François Duquesne & his wife Scholastique de Robespierre. @ser-1789.bsky.social @petermcphee.bsky.social @mlinton.bsky.social

This is completely true. It's also true that all doctors in the USA first have a BS or a BA degree from a university and it's generally considered important that physicians be capable of empathy and dealing with uncertainty. These skills are taught in the Humanities (which NIH, NSF etc do not fund).

For #18thCenturyists, let us remember Ms Faithfull as one of the more authentic-looking figures in Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette': Maria Theresia. @invitinghistory.bsky.social @suburbanbeatnik.bsky.social @hottycouture.bsky.social @mlinton.bsky.social @petermcphee.bsky.social @annihawk.bsky.social

Linen was essential, for clothing and sail-making in France from the middle ages until the 18thC. #Frenchpodcast with fascinating details on techniques and lots on production in Brittany, with @nadegegauffre.bsky.social and @soazigvillerbu.bsky.social #FreHistory www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

In most developed countries people of all political leanings believe climate change is a global threat (86% of left-wingers and 75% of right-wingers in France!), with the exceptions of the US, Israel Canada and Australia where their right-wingers deny the threat posed by climate change.

Here in the UK there are curriculum issues. When I was at high school 1978-83, we did courses covering 2-3 centuries across diff countries. Now, there are 'modules' – gter depth, but more narrowly focussed & unconnected chronologically. No overview of what happened when, where, across Europe/world.

For people in Melbourne, this digitally augmented 3D exhibition on the history and reconstruction of Notre Dame de Paris is a must see, now on at the Immigration Museum.

For me, André Zysberg will forever be synonymous with the history of French port city bagnes and quantitative history. RIP. 🗃

📢 Le "Quatremère de Quincy", de David Gilks vient de paraître ! Incontournable pour qui s'intéresse aux origines du Panthéon, mais plus largement à l'urbanisme parisien au temps de la Révolution française et à l'histoire des Lumières contre-révolutionnaires.

David Gilks' new book is a treasure-trove of illuminating detail and ideas. Warmly recommended.

This really is something.

Humiliated by a Nazi officer as a teenager, Madeleine Riffaud joined the French Resistance. By the time she was 20, she had killed a German soldier, survived torture and captured a supply train. She died on Nov. 6 at her home in Paris. She was 100.

Maybe not just crooks?

I have over estimated the % of Americans who own a gun. And under estimated the number who imagine that as a left-handed atheist with a higher degree, I am anything other than rare.
