Excellent article here. Our students are our greatest advocates. Counter proposals will be put forward, and we are supporting colleagues in Music, Modern Languages, Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies at Nottingham with their campaigns www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cornell has agreed to accept the Trump administration's interpretation of civil rights laws and will use a DOJ memo on the topic as a training resource for staff. The university must also provide anonymized admissions data and continue campus climate surveys @mrfishcartoons.bsky.social

Please consider signing against this nonsensical absurdity! c.org/vGgNqmXhNx

Gemeinsam mit @nschniederjann.bsky.social und @sebfriedrich.bsky.social habe ich analysiert, warum sich die AfD ein ökonomisches Programm gibt, das die Wirtschaft schrumpft und Arbeiter ärmer macht. Spoiler: das ist kein Versehen. www.geldfuerdiewelt.de/p/warum-die-...

In case you missed it, here is a link to the great @municipaldreams.bsky.social blog and review of my new book: municipaldreams.wordpress.com/2025/03/25/b... "Clayton’s book is not only a powerful evocation of past ideals and practice but a call to action."

While many (car driving) Glaswegians insist that 'nobody uses the new cycle lanes', it's nice to get some overseas coverage proving them wrong: momentummag.com/when-bikes-o...

If anyone is in Berlin next week, come along to my book presentation (or stream in): www.max-lingner-stiftung.de/programm-mlh...

My latest from @hyperallergic.com is on Trump’s proposed triumphal arch—& why looking at the structure’s history symbolizing imperialism & subjugation + its reception (Napoleon, Hitler) is important. NB: the ecclesiastical architectural firm pitching this structure. hyperallergic.com/1050375/the-...

‘Languages now: from crisis to transformation?’ by @cforsdick.bsky.social journal.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/articles/13/...

My next book has a cover! I Will Not Abandon You is a new history of queer women under Nazism that calls for us to rethink how we understand fascist persecution as well as the very foundations of progressive politics today. You can preorder it anywhere you buy books bookshop.org/p/books/i-wi...

Ich bin sprachlos: ein "Mahnmal für die Opfer kommunistischer Gewaltherrschaft"? Was an der DDR war kommunistisch? Sie war ja noch nicht einmal sozialistisch, sondern einfach nur eine rot lackierte Diktatur. Und die SPD macht bei dieser antilinken Geschichtsklitterung mit? Unfassbar.

Ich war zu Gast bei Katrin Göring-Eckardt. Das hat Spaß gemacht!

I spoke to Jane Harrington, the current vice-chancellor of the University of Greenwich, who is set to lead the 'Kentwich' merger. She said: - Other universities could join the group at a later stage - She could not rule out job cuts www.timeshighereducation.com/news/more-un...

“We have a new way of understanding the social history of post-war Scotland. Our book challenges and complicates stereotypes, especially of working-class life.” Historians, Valerie Wright and Alistair Fair spoke to me about ‘Building Modern Scotland.’ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.thenational.scot/news/2545606...

Absolutely astounded that the UCU and Unison branches at Kent and Greenwich were not consulted, and that staff only found out about the merger this morning via BBC news and Kent Online. Solidarity to all colleagues.

Pleased to announce with @npapadogian.bsky.social a new books event series, featuring Maria Alexopoulou discussing her two(!) recent books with @laurenstokes.bsky.social. Virtual event, Monday, September 22, at 12pm EDT. purdue-edu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

"Reform has touted its plan as a “legal reset”. But it is better understood as a total rejection of the UK’s postwar international commitments to protect the human rights of everyone within its jurisdiction."

Definitely need to make sure to catch this exhibition that just opened at Das Minsk in Potsdam www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/platt...

After an aperitif in the charming courtyard, dinner in the elegant dining hall of St John’s College

An audience equipped with Austrian wine listens as Henrike Lähnemann begins the festivities around the opening of the exhibition “German in the World” at the Taylor Institution #AGS2025

Great to hear all the good news relayed by AGS VP @profannasaunders.bsky.social in the business meeting: so many new appointments, completed PhDs and prizes won by colleagues in German Studies in the UK and Ireland! 👏👏👏👏
