#indigenersache Mein Statement zur Attacke der NZZ gegen mich. Grosser Dank für die riesige Solidarität! See all, study all, narrate all! ✌️💛🕊️

Ein toller Text einer meiner Sisters in Crime zu einem wichtigen Thema, das zurzeit kaum Aufmerksam erhält und überhaupt noch um eine eigene Sprache ringen muss: Long-Covid (resp. Neurocovid).

1/ Die NZZ kritisiert wieder mal, dass zu viele Menschen studieren und erst noch das Falsche: Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften. Lasst uns anschauen, ob und was die Leute bei der NZZ studiert haben. 🧵

Der ehemalige CVP-Bundesrat Joseph Deiss rechnet mit der Aussenpolitik des eidgenössischen Parlamentes ab - auch mit seiner eigenen Partei. Hier zur UNRWA. Dazu passt: gerade hat dieses Kürzungen bei der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit mit den Ärmsten beschlossen (auch mit Hilfe von Mitte-Parlis).

What kind of table fits in the fridge?

Last week I visited Switzerland to present a paper at the University of Zurich. As part of the conference, the organizers had the inspired idea to engage ZH Kolonial, a tour guide company organising walking tours of Zurich's colonial past www.zh-kolonial.ch/en/station/i...

"It is regrettable but revealing that a perspective on U.S. foreign policy once confined to the margins of left-wing discourse in the United States is now more credible than the shopworn platitudes that many senior U.S. officials rely on to defend their actions." foreignpolicy.com/2024/11/15/c...

Okay I swear I'll stop posting about the book soon, but here's a direct link to our intro 'Expansion alongside integration: a new history of imperial Europe', which lays out the historiographical and present-day socio-political stakes in detail: doi.org/10.5040/9781...

I and @boscha.bsky.social will be doing a few book talks in the spring, if you run a research seminar and would like to hear our thoughts on the co-construction of Europe and empire in the modern era, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Okay it's now a new working week, so a bit more about OUR BOOK, which is OUT with Bloomsbury! The volume aims to rethink modern European imperialism from its various (Nordic/Central/Eastern) margins. How did "Europe" come to be as a construct of empire, and the other way around? 🗃️

If any Berlin-based (or surroundings) colleagues are interested in reviewing this (say, for @jich.bsky.social) then I might have an extra print copy or two to pass around in January.

"Alois Wyrsch a été le premier parlementaire de couleur de Suisse au XIXe siècle. Son père, Louis Wyrsch, a réprimé des révoltes anticoloniales pour les Hollandais et en Suisse, a rédigé la Constitution fédérale de 1848. Et sa mère? Elle a été effacée de l'histoire." www.sept.info/colonialisme...

OUT NOW and open access! Print edition forthcoming in January!! "This open access book provides a thought-provoking new perspective on European imperialism in the 19th & 20th centuries by inquiring how smaller European powers & regions at the margins integrated into a globally interconnected world”.

Glad to be part of this👍👇

🚨 A bit of a surprise, this, but our Bloomsbury volume Integration and Collaborative Imperialism in Modern Europe: At the Margins of Empire, 1800-1950 appears to now be ONLINE (and in OPEN ACCESS)! Read, share, tell your friends, discuss! 🗃️

Edited by myself and @boscha.bsky.social, with many many great contributions that I'll post more about later when I have more time. Print publication in January!
