A great summary of Poppy's new article: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Christians and the British empire: how a church NGO got entangled in colonial violence in Kenya theconversation.com/christians-a...

2/2 He seems to think Britain colonised countries with the intention of ‘developing’ them. Development policies were a late colonial response to anticolonial nationalists’ critiques of exploitation & had to be self-financed by colonised populations until after WWII.

Well, a) good for them, but b) what the HELL are we doing when a bereaved family has to take a stand against government-sponsored pandering to racism?

it’s hard to stress just how important it is for universities to provide tailored support for students for whom english is not a first language, and how counter-productive these proposed redundancies are www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @ucu.org.uk

This is a fantastic article and such an important project! It sets a high bar for how colonial heritage projects and co-creation should be conducted. MBC also rejects extractive research practices through its efforts to bring research back to the community. Congrats on the pub @brebisz.bsky.social!

🔊 New Article: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... @memorystudies.bsky.social

On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power. Well said.

An ode to a delicious morning. An academic year, full to the brim of teaching, marking, administration. Causing me moments of pure and utter frustration. Only to turn to the paper I'll be presenting in Manchester. And remembering I too, am a researcher.

Incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of Professor Bethwell Ogot. A literary giant. A distinguished historian. Historians of Kenya, and Africa more broadly, owe him a huge debt. Rest well Professor.

Prof. Bethwell Allan Ogot, one of Kenya’s most distinguished historians and scholars, dies at 95

👀 lots of folks QT'ing to say: women — submit your manuscripts! I think what has to come first is: universities, fix your gendered service and teaching inequities, and society, balance out your care work, so women *have time* to write the damn manuscripts. So many women colleagues are BURNT OUT.

Today is a wonderful day (if you haven't already) to indulge in the brilliance and wonder of our (@museumofbc.bsky.social) dear friend and colleague Anthony Maina and his contributions to Mau Mau Heritage: museumofbritishcolonialism.org/paper-trails...

"we start with rumours", "wait does she drive to work? We could slash her tires!" "If we need to I guess we could resort to collective violence" Ahhhh, my annual 'plan a revolution against me while I wait outside' is in full swing.

Margot tricking me into thinking I became an overnight success all by myself with all these new followers. Hi pals 👋🏼 historian of Africa, gender, humanitarianism, and conflict. Also a proud committee member of @museumofbc.bsky.social which you should ABSOLUTELY check out!

Thanks to all those who have engaged with my new article so far! It's great to see it out in the world.

Hi Bluesky 👋🏼 I hear it's much nicer here?
