I wrote a new article: it’s on the Fallout franchise, & it’s just been published in Games&Culture

I’m currently trying to wrap my head around a bigger project on historical video game promotion and branding & this article is a slice (in progress) of that
+ it’s open access!

Thanks once again to the Times Higher for reminding us all - hundreds of job losses and the evisceration of entire disciplines later - who the real victim is in all of this.

An interesting interview. While Prof Larner was getting sympathy from her neighbour's child who wanted to share their toys with her, I was explaining to mine the potential impact of the University's decision. I know that other colleagues were doing the same.

Wendy Larner: ‘It isn’t easy to have your personal integrity impugned’ Cardiff’s January announcement of plans to cut 400 academic jobs and close several departments prompted a media firestorm that heaped opprobrium on its vice-chancellor. But she also received lots of q...

I don't doubt that this process has taken its toll on senior staff, but the framing and timing of this seems pretty callous as we enter the festive period in month 10 of being in scope for redundancy. Happy holidays folks. www.timeshighereducation.com/depth/wendy-...

Congratulations to Antwain K. Hunter, whose book A Precarious Balance: Firearms, Race, and Community in North Carolina, 1715–1865 was published by UNC Press last month!

The Frank and Harriet Owsley Award for the best book in Southern history published last year is awarded to David Doddington for Old Age and Americam Slavery #2025SHA

Congratulations! #2025SHA

David Doddington also published research related to this book project in the JSH: "Old Age, Mastery, and Resistance in American Slavery" (Feb 2022): muse.jhu.edu/pub/285/arti...

#2025SHA didn't realise we were allowed to hold conferences in such nice weather. @branchuk.bsky.social just like Cardiff, right...?

It's been almost ten months to the day that my School has been 'in scope' for redundancy.

Exhausting as it's been, the most depressing thing is that the rest of the university seems to be forgetting that we're still in that pool and moving on as we drift and drown.

Congratulations Randy - it is a wonderful book! Honored to have shared part of the stage with ya.
