I travelled to NYC to help launch (last night) Joanna Stalnaker's astonishing new book _The Rest is Silence: Enlightenment Philosophers Facing Death_. The book is a treasure, humane and moving: a vindication both of the #18thc philosophes and of what literary studies scholarship can do with them.

Absolutely delighted about the publication of UNCONQUERED STATES (Oxford University Press), which looks at the global history of non-European powers in the imperial age.

The Centre for European Research at the @goteborgsuni.bsky.social that I am associated with is recruiting 3 postdocs, and I couldn't recommend it more (I did my postdoc there 10 years ago and it was a great time).I especially encourage sociologists to apply, as we need more of you here in Göteborg!

now that you can undo sending with the Mail app, I can't send even the simplest email without undoing it multiple times to check for mistakes…

i was a bit off the apps because I am teaching like crazy in those last two weeks of the term, but here is a music that kept me going in the early hours of the morning walking to uni. #Music 🗃️ youtu.be/Uo2xhyGIzak?...
