Attention #AcademicSky Everyone is talking about books, but thousands of academic journals were also pirated and are entitled to up to $3,000 *per pirated volume!!!* if editors submit titles to join the suit. Incredible opportunity for underfunded journals to get some $$! #SkyStorians #MedievalSky

Okay I made a poster about it, will spend some time later this week being a menace. (Link to template in reply if you want a copy).

Why don't French books believe in indexes? Don't they know how much easier life would be?

How lucky am I to share with wonderful colleagues AND to go home with flowers? I'm very thankful to have participated in the #GCFHSResist Colloquium, to have heard so many wonderful papers and gotten great feedback from colleagues! I'm now ready to get back home to my pup and get some rest.

My book, Desiring Whiteness, was awarded the 2025 Alf Andrew Heggoy prize for best book in French colonial history (1815-present)! In a world that is falling apart, I cherish this bit of happy news and hope for brighter days ahead for all. You can get your own copy at 50% off with the code 095000

I've made it to Paris for some summer research and conferencing (in July)! If others are around and want to meet up for a coffee at the BNF or an after-archives drink, send me a message!

Is there a better time to read and review books than summer? I don't think so - and I'm looking for reviewers for lots of titles for the Journal of Contemporary History. We now do review articles of up to 4,000 words, covering three books. These and many more are up for grabs:

[Événement] C’est avec fierté que nous vous invitons à notre colloque, « Où en est le Québec d’hier ? Faire et refaire l’histoire du Québec contemporain », qui aura lieu les 26 et 27 septembre prochains au MEM - Centre des mémoires montréalaises !

Heureux de recevoir mon exemplaire de la Rhaf. J'y parle des étudiants étrangers et de la diplomatie culturelle de l'UdeM. J'y suis en belle compagnie, avec les articles de @camille-robert.info sur la "contre-révolution tranquille" et de S. Labelle sur la Voix des femmes dans le jeu international.

Great new article out by the inestimable Teddy Paikin - just when you thought 19th century French political economy couldn't get more interesting! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Looking through archive photos today for a new piece on militant editorial practice in Québec. One internal comment about an MS submission is truly the stuff of authorial nightmares: "Faults: everything. The author... doesn't manage to write a single natural sentence. Summary: not worth sh*t." 👀

US academic groups sue White House over planned deportations of pro-Gaza students

Journée de travail pour l'histoire du Québec! #chcq #histoirequebec

Some really great replies here. (Others are less applicable.)

Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States

Thrilled that my article is now avaiable from French Politics, Culture and Society! You can read about militant advertising and sales techniques in French left-wing periodicals in the 1970s here (doi.org/10.3167/fpcs...) or DM me for access! Many many thanks to Liz Fink for her support for this. 🗃️

So I need a job…. My current contract ends this academic year. 😕 I would love to be able to continue researching and teaching history of the Holocaust, Jews. Europe, and refugees/migration. Any leads would be appreciated!

I'm a terrible self-publicist but this is on *Friday* so please come/watch only as I tell my three jokes about Indirect Rule

Still looking for contributors for this series! Reach out if you (or anyone you know) might want to write on the heritage, histories, and/or archives of queer Atlantic Canada

This Wednesday at 9 a.m. EST! Come learn about women in the history of left-wing print media and blow off some steam by learning about some folks who were (also) fed up with their comrades. 🗃️#Frenchhistory

The SUV one is sending me www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

a long shot, but do any book historians here know of scholarship quantifying the labor impacts of the Linotype in the late 19th century? I know the compositors unions protested & then passed rules about who could maintain Linotype machines—but I’m curious just how many compositors actually lost jobs

At no point in these photos do I seem to have put down my hands while talking. Whoops. Merci aussi, @cerium-udem.bsky.social, pour la conférence passionnante et stimulante! Et merci aussi pour les photos! 🗃️

(Warning: this topic may be trauamtic for women who study intellectual history) I'm presenting "The Men are Too Busy Discoursing..." at the Women in Intellectual History seminar (on Zoom) later this month! Check on the program here for details and info on how to join: is-ih.com/news/isih-20.... 🗃️

Just gave my website a much-needed facelift! I'll be working on the other pages soon, but if any historians 🗃️ want homepage inspiration in the meantime, I'll just leave this here: sarahkmiles.wordpress.com.
