AN #EARLYMODERN POST!! They still exist! And a lovely one at that, for five years and with the brilliant people at KCL who have turned that place in quite the hub of exciting early modern research. Run, don’t walk.

Our historical narratives are often centred on land, but what happens if we shift our perspective to oceans? How might this shape our environmental and political imaginaries? Join us at @hass-cornwall.bsky.social as we plunge into the past to navigate new futures. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xqj...

Why book a flight—or a reading room? I take the train, retrieve the files, and deliver bespoke scans from UK archives, so you can stay in your armchair and focus on your research. 🗂️ digitisedarchive.co.uk #Twitterstorians #MedEd #historyofscience #MedHist #histSTM #historyofmedicine #scicomm

My article 'Papuan Petitions as an Archive of Decolonisation' is online and open access! It's part of an upcoming special issue on petitions. I explore West Papuan petitions written in the lead up to the Act of 'Free' Choice and the significance of this archive. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I’ve written a piece for @africasacountry.bsky.social about the liberal humanitarian sector’s response to the recent USAID cuts and reformist efforts to defend - what has always been - an unequal system ⬇️

Hey that’s my file! But HOW do you make them look so pretty?

HUGE thanks to every single presenter/chair/attendee for making the past two days so inspiring and friendly. It was brilliant to catch up with old friends and to make so many new ones! More to come from our AHRC Rethinking Internationalism project so watch this space…

A brilliant start to our AHRC Rethinking Internationalisms project, with generous and thoughtful contributions. Daniel Laqua did an amazing job with our first outing, and he, @drmargottudor.bsky.social , @jessicareinisch.bsky.social and I look forward to continuing these conversations. Stay tuned!

Excited that the first article of my ongoing research project on the history of Indian women in rural development has been published in Comparativ. If you cannot access it and are interested to read, let me know. @unierfurt.bsky.social @emleake.bsky.social www.comparativ.net/v2/article/v...

Looking forward to this one :)

We recently had the pleasure of @sandrinekott.bsky.social's company at Birkbeck - and now I'm thrilled that her new edited book is out in the Bloomsbury Histories of Internationalism series, open access & free to download www.bloomsburycollections.com/monograph?do... @bbkhistorical.bsky.social

Here is the English translation of my essay on South Asian humanitarian aid under colonial rule. It provides some insights of my forthcoming book on this theme with CUP this summer. www.voluntariness.org/giving-as-an...

This is ridiculously good company to be in. Thanks @susieprotschky.bsky.social!

CFP: @globalhistjnl.bsky.social development editing workshop (deadline 1 March 2025). Workshop open to scholars & #skystorians for whom English is not a first language who study/work outside of North American and Western European institutions. Keep an eye out for an ECR workshop later in the year! 🗃

This is a great idea: a developmental editing workshop, run by the Journal of Global History. But, it's for colleagues for whom English is not a first language - and who work in institutions outside Western Europe and North America. 🗃️ networks.h-net.org/group/announ...

Call for proposals for a new Handbook of the Histories of Internationalism, deadline 1 March 2025. Looking forward to your proposals! More info here: csi.bbk.ac.uk/blog/call-fo...

It was a real privilege to deliver the Reese Memorial Lecture at Kings College London back in October. Thanks to @asobocinska.bsky.social for facilitating. The video is available here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UN7...

The humanities and social sciences panels of the Marsden Fund DISBANDED?!? are you absolutely fucking kidding

My project, DEVHIST, will focus on how aid workers and Global South communities renegotiated development projects at the point of implementation, to better understand the material outcomes of development aid. I’m so thrilled this was funded and can’t wait to get started www.kcl.ac.uk/news/three-s...

Will be very interested to see this next fall. It’s a welcome departure for the IWM exhibition hall and could set the standard for a new public history of British decolonization www.iwm.org.uk/events/emerg...

Usual caveats apply go.bsky.app/Gaka15u

And it’s open access 🏆
