Sharing some work (long) in progress today at @hutchinscenter.bsky.social Also in livestream Join us if you can!

I want to say a bit more about our initiative to hire scholars to 3yr Research Associate positions. None of us know what the twinning of humanities research support and employment will look like in another 5(?) years. But we do know that we need it. As a matter of social and cultural health. 1/

Hoping there is a book in there somewhere #writing

On January 1, 1804, revolutionaries established the independent country of Haiti, the first nation to permanently ban slavery. As we begin a year engulfed by the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, it’s worth reading the Haitian Declaration of Independence in full. 🇭🇹

The artists use their work as a device to unsettle fixed narratives, confront entrenched systems of power and open space for alternative ways of knowing, relating and being in the world. Join us for the opening on 𝟏𝟓 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫! https://framerframed.nl/en/exposities/expositie-shapeshifters/

When people tell you that founders as enslavers was something we should see "in the context of their time." Great piece fr @katytelling.bsky.social abt a wealthy 18hc Virginian (and there were others) who thought Washington and co. risked their honor and more. ageofrevolutions.com/2025/10/13/a...

Two years later, it still feels surreal that I had the (quite literally) once-in-a-lifetime honour of giving a keynote at the International Medieval Congress in Leeds. Turning that talk into an essay—whose proofs arrived today—is just the icing on the absurdity cake.
