I wrote an essay on decolonization talk for Aeon Magazine, sparked in part by the seemingly odd image search results for 'decolonization' when making posters for Ohio State's International History Seminar last year. @mershoncenter.bsky.social @osuhistory.bsky.social aeon.co/essays/what-...

Can report there is still no opt-out. I'm part of a team of #milhist scholars that has voided its contract for a 4th ed of American Military History with Routledge because T&F sold out to Microsoft rather than protect its authors' IP. 🗃️ #academicsky www.thebookseller.com/news/academi...

Congrats Lesley!

Hello to folks on BlueSky! I'm a historian working on international and global history, with a focus on the (post-)socialist world and the Middle East. I published a book on development in Cold War Afghanistan, and I'm now finishing a book on Shi'a Islamism. www.cambridge.org/core/books/h...

Since @modamhist.bsky.social is on BlueSky now, I thought I’d celebrate by posting my article in the journal, about US military humanitarian support to the United Nations 🇺🇳 Enjoy! www.cambridge.org/core/service...

It seems like the explosion in Bluesky usage was perfectly timed to coincide with Diplomatic History publishing my new article! 🗃️ (to be clear: not delighted about the specific reason for the explosion)

I have started building a stater pack for history of colonialism and imperialism go.bsky.app/TDMSz4Y

With the influx of folks here, I recommend these great folks that write on military affairs…and are members of the @milwritersguild.bsky.social.

Someone had to do it, so I did: Military History (Very Broadly Defined) starter pack. This is just a start but already at over 100, with a 150 account limit on packs. Therefore I didn't duplicate the WWI or WWII history starter packs. Let me know if you want to be included, deleted, or...

Here you go newcomers, another way to get acclimated.

This Vol - and the workshop that built it - was an absolute pleasure to participate in. It also signals the exciting directions CUP's Global and Int'l Hist series is taking, curating transnatl scholarship from a wide array of scholars (background, career stage, geographic location).

Check out this fascinating initiative!
