Powerful piece by @echomikeromeo.bsky.social www.historyworkshop.org.uk/queer-histor...

I am reading about memory studies, and I am shocked by how they announce a turn every two pages.

🧵You know what I would love love loveeeeee. Mainstream media platforming migrants. I’ve written plenty about it and yet all the articles going around are written by British folk? Part of the problem with the discourse is lack of representation on mainstream media? Who would have thought lol

Next October 30, I will be discussing A Brief History of Violence in Mexico with my friends Thomas Rath, Gema Kloppe-Santamaría, Paulo Drinot and Ben Smith www.sas.ac.uk/news-events/...

I love political journalism

I always think of that text of Adorno in which he describes his admiration for Benjamin's ideas. My book is back in Argentina, but according to the internet was something like

Oh I want this book so much :) @echomikeromeo.bsky.social may want it too

📑 I am happy to share a new article that I co-wrote with Salvador Vidal-Ortiz entitled "Lohana Berkins: A Latin American Travesti Theory of the Body".

Very interesting paper by Fraccaroli & Simonetto (@psimonetto.bsky.social) which explores LGBTQ + archival practices in Latin America and highlights that archives share but also contest the meaning and materiality of memory of how LGBTQ+ people are remembered: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

I am in Argentina doing fieldwork for my new research project. Here you can see the laboratory of the world to come: fascism. It's extremely scary; I've never seen anything like this before. It is not an exaggeration to say that many people working in public institutions live with fear.

🌟 New Article Alert! 🌟 Exciting news from the School of Sociology and Social Policy! Our colleagues are making strides in promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion. Interested in learning more? 📖 ➡️ essl.leeds.ac.uk/sociology/ne...

Thanks to Benito Bisso Schmidt for this amazing review at the American Historical review academic.oup.com/ahr/article-...

I'm not sure if it's an English thing, but why do students write with extremely long paragraphs? I read essays with paragraphs that exceed a page, making it very difficult to follow their ideas. Do they teach this in A levels?

I found this 1969 film on the emergence of drag as mass entertainment fascinating, especially the geographical difference between the London scene and working-class social clubs in the North and Midlands. Can anyone recommend any research on this? player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/wa....
