Ik ga wat controversieels zeggen: van mij mogen zelfs rechtshistorici, historische sociologen, en historische economen.

Stond de bialetti lang genoeg op om de keuken te vullen met de geur van smeltend rubber🤨?

I have been conferencing with the wonderful @phedra-project.bsky.social in Paris since Wednesday. Like a good Parisian academic, I haven't been north of the Seine over the past three days ;-)

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully.

You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers.

Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

The Medici Archive Project is offering twelve short-term fellowships for graduate, pre-doctoral students, and postdoctoral candidates, working on fields related to early modern Italy (preferably with a specific emphasis on Tuscany or Medici history) #earlymodern 🗃️

Deze week vindt aan de @unileiden.bsky.social de European Social Science History Conference plaats. Ik woon een sessie bij over migratie en deportatie. Eén v/d sprekers is afwezig, ze durfde als American-Mexican het land niet te verlaten, uit angst dat ze onder het Trump-regime niet meer terug mag.

Die keuken is inderdaad een goudmijn op dat vlak🙂

Dutch universities go on strike - for the first time since anyone can remember. We protest the treatment and budget cuts of our extreme-right government. The strikers take turns - and Leiden university kicks off tomorrow. ✊🏼

Controlling Contagion How human institutions—markets, states, communities, religions, guilds and families—have helped both to control and to exacerbate epidemics throughout history.

Happy to say my new book, “Controlling Contagion”, comes out next month. 700 years of tackling pandemics. Not all bad news…

3 years of war.

3 years of Ukrainian resistance.

Putin started this war.

Russia is the agressor.

Zelensky | Ukraine need support.

I guess if they want to celebrate knights and the building of the English state then Frenchmen coming over with an imported model and enforcing it on objecting locals is a useful historical metaphor.

Over framing, vrouwenstrijd en Lale Gül Anderhalve week geleden was ik gevraagd een conferentie te openen over genitale verminking van vrouwen in De Balie. Vanwege het grote belang om aandacht te blijven vragen voor dit gruwelijke en hardne...
