Asking for a friend (my daughter)- do any academics have access to the American Historical Review? We’re after a 2018 article by Regina Kunzel: ‘the power of queer history’. If anyone can send me the article 🙏 it’s for her amazing history essay.

This is so good… read the replies if you want some lolz 😂

Congratulations to all involved… I highly recommend this!

A political cartoon from 1908 showing hand with a cuff that reads "Republican Party" pouring champagne from a bottle that reads "tariff revision" into a glass held by a hand that reads "protected interests" on its cuff. They appear connected to the same person. Beside this another pair of hands hold an empty glass and the cuff reads "consumer"

Throwback to 1908

The Australian Historical Association's statement of solidarity with colleagues in the US. Thank you @michellearrow.bsky.social, @kfullagar.bsky.social and all the other members of the AHA Committee for articulating what we are all feeling.

Interesting! I was disappointed not to succeed with a nomination I worked on - for a female educational pioneer. Founder of the school I work at.

Research funding body suspends grant to pro-Palestinian academic Controversial academic Randa Abdel-Fattah, who has said Zionists “have no claim or right to cultural safety”, has had her $870,000 research grant suspended.

This is a ridiculous and damaging move from the ARC which should cause all academics here and abroad substantial concern. www.afr.com/policy/healt...

Surprising and frustrating. I can’t believe official agencies, govt, public figures etc still use it too.

Is AHA still posting at the other place?

Out of Office is on! I’m taking a break from my day job, and social media, to enjoy a relaxing Australian Summer.

Oh! Can’t wait to read this!

Since this place is getting busy, I should mention some things I'm available for:
*freelance editing, proofreading, fact-checking
*qualitative research (especially archival & textual)
*research methods & design consulting
*disability-informed academic & doctoral support
Get in touch if you need!

Prepping the #schoolarchives to move to a *smaller* space has been such hard work over the past 2 months. It was a joy to slow down today & marvel at Betty Archdale’s book collection, including these!

Hi Manuel, thanks for putting this together. Could you pls add me?

To introduce myself: I’m a school archivist by day. Writing a book about women & slavery across several generations spanning Bordeaux, Dublin, Belfast, Grenada & Trinidad. History PhD from Macquarie Uni, ex-lawyer. Quite clumsy, love learning, 🍫 ☕️ 🍷, my family & friends.

I’ve arrived here after wandering in the post-twitter wilderness. I like what I see so far :)
