In the summer of 1776, famed portraitist Charles Willson Peale created his most political painting imploring the American public and members of Congress to “Inoculate Before It Is Too Late.” Soon Washington changed his mind and ordered the inoculation of the army. We need that public effort again.

Larry Peskin: we see an interesting juxtaposition here about scholar-facing work and public-facing work. How can cutting edge scholarship inform public commemoration and vice-versa? (I've got to shout out this great Erin Zavitz @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social essay here.) #OI2025

We are seemingly always in crisis. I wrote a brief article on the conceptual history and contemporary politics of "crisis" for @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social. I argue that designating a situation as a crisis is not just a neutral description – it is also a powerful discursive device... (1/3)

I wrote a short article on the political history of “crisis” for Age of Revolutions. The article traces the concept from its ancient Greek origins to the present – showing how crises are constructed and mobilized to expand power but may also be turned against it.

Mikkel Flohr explores how "crisis" functions in political discourse and often times becomes instrumentalized for personal agendas. Read more! ageofrevolutions.com/2025/06/09/t...
