As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that.

So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.

Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort!

🎙️Plan for a coffin train I mention on @deathstudiespod.bsky.social! This would have transported corpses ~30 km from Paris to Méry-sur-Oise, where Haussmann planned to build a 5k-acre Necropolis (that’s roughly 45x the size of Père-Lachaise!) to accommodate Paris’s dead for the next 600 years 🚂⚰️

Always a pleasure to nerd out over cemeteries and data!

New blog post for Flatpage!

In light of the news on my first day of sabbatical: gender is a social construct, trans women are women, no amount of complying with authoritarians who pretend they will only strip some people but not you of rights will keep you safe. And in 2025 university administrators should know all of that.

Thanks for documenting us, @annaneat.bsky.social!

New issue published! **Memory over Forgetting: Monuments, Memorials, and Intangible Heritage** - www.radicalhistoryreview.org/memory-over-...

Being a historian doesn’t give me the mantle of authority to say definitively what’s happening here or how anyone should respond, but I feel qualified to say this: If you were writing an account of how the United States devolved into violence and fragmentation, all this would be chapter 1 or 2.

Le Champ du repos: A Tidy Approach to Early Epitaphs in Père-Lachaise Cemetery Before the 19th century, burial practices often favored the wealthy, with the poor buried in mass graves. But during the time of Napoleon, new burial rules promised that everyone, rich or poor, could ...

An Update on NEH Funding Priorities and the Agency’s Recent Implementation of Trump Administration Executive Orders

I ran grant programs at @nehgov.bsky.social for over a decade. With colleagues, oversaw review of thousands of grant applications. Witnessed care & thoughtfulness of hundreds of reviewers. This statement is insulting to all of them. Whoever wrote it should be ashamed.
