Screenshot of an article title page. 'An invitation to a party? Staging urban proximity and the colonial public in nineteenth-century Batavia' by Mikko Toivanen. Abstract: This article examines the development of colonial public culture in Batavia, the capital of the Dutch East Indies, over the second half of the nineteenth century, focusing on two moments of extended colonial ceremony: the city’s 250th anniversary in 1869 and the inauguration of Queen Wilhelmina in 1898. The analysis shows that over the course of the century, colonial ceremonial increasingly sought to assimilate facets of local cultural practices, while also expanding spatially into a more diverse set of neighbourhoods. Nevertheless, this new and superficially more representative order still maintained a strict internal hierarchy embedded in spatial and socio-cultural boundaries.

Immobility Abstract. Increasingly, since the early years of the twenty-first century, some have questioned the relevance of historians’ ‘fetishization of mobility’ in

Thrilled to see this published (free!) in Past&Present - though it unfortunately feels more relevant than ever... @pastpresentsoc.bsky.social
And feeling fortunate to have been able to do this with two of the most talented historians Malika Zehni & Lamin Manneh ❤️

The program for the #CEH-C2025 - Central European History Convention - to take place in Vienna this July is finally up, and wow, is it amazing! ceh-c.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/us... #skystorians #histmed even a little #econhist

Sounds really fascinating! I've always been curious about counter-revolutionary cooperation across borders too, I'd love to read more about it!

Wow, thank you! I'm happy it can be of interest to them. Hope the students like it!

RELEASE DAY!!! It’s here at last and I am very proud of it. Immense thanks to @stanfordpress.bsky.social for supporting this project ( & check out the promotional code).

Happy to send a PDF via email if you'd like!

I also make a case for paying more attention to the material elements of revolutionary politics. Current work conditions sadly mean there's no way I could afford or get funds for open access but please DM me for a copy if you're interested!

Ships, Guns and Money: The Logistics of Revolution and Garibaldi’s Campaign of 1860* Abstract. When Giuseppe Garibaldi set sail for Sicily on the campaign that led to the unification of Italy in 1860, he gave a group of exiled political rad

I'm also super excited to share my first article, which builds on some of the work I did for my PhD. I discuss how revolutionaries operating through the port of Genoa used the sea and worldwide business connections to staff and supply the army that unified Italy in 1860.

I’m known to be a bit of a lurker, but hoping a new, not-so-toxic platform will help me overcome that! Looking forward to sharing more about my work and hearing from others as the community keeps developing.

Looking to learn from all the brilliant people on here and (re)build something of a network after a year spent avoiding that other site and hiding in a PhD-cave. Interested in anything to do with nineteenth-century (and present-day) politics, colonialism, global history and the Mediterranean.
