I’d like to live in a country where no one, and I mean no one, is shot, arrested, or deported for speaking freely. The person just shot for speaking freely did not want to live in such a country—he loved the idea of repression of speech, he just wanted to be the repressor, not the repressed.

But of course ;-)

Funny how academia works: nothing for ages, then boom, 2 articles in a week. The 2nd began with @rekakrizmanics.bsky.social email. Not my usual period but those intriguing AAN files kept calling… Of course, Jewish threads are in: I wouldn’t be me otherwise 😉. doi.org/10.1177/0888...

Fellow historians of tourism, does anyone know where the phrase "what to see and how to see it" (as a guidebook tagline) originates? I can find examples going back to 1851, but maybe there's a specific first instance?

On Fragments and Home: Notes from an Independent Scholar | Association for Slavic, East European, & Eurasian Studies I am an independent scholar; it’s a fancy name for someone who is unemployed in academia, but still has the misfortune of scholarly pursuits, a drive for knowledge and absolutely […]

Very shy to share this new text of mine.
Here’s a very personal essay about being an independent scholar, my method, about immigration, cracks in academia and fragments.

I don’t know if people even read this kind of stuff anymore but if you do, enjoy.

"No Other Land" is still available on Channel 4 VoD. Watch it if you haven't.
The stories it tells, of oppression and injustice, are heavy and painful. But it does so with unique lightness and tenderness. Poetic ray of light in great darkness

Wow, we are now being officially advised against travel to the USA by the Canadian Association of University Teachers. I never thought I'd see the day. ☹️ #AcademicChatter

My NEH grant to translate and annotate the selected works of Rokhl Brokhes has been terminated. I knew this was coming but I am still devastated by the news.

I’m so sorry about this :-(

The last day of #ESSHC2025 has already started... Four fantastic days full of history, with 393 sessions and 1400 participants from 50 countries. With a special shout out to the organiser Els Kuperus, Manuela Rot and Astrid Verburg (whose daughter, history student, helped out at the conference!).

Likewise! I’m glad we bumped at each other at the very end!

Bye, bye Leiden! Had a great time at the #ESSHC conference! Stimulating panels, thought-provoking discussions, new connections - and all in a beautiful town. Grateful for the energy, ideas, and conversations these past days! @rmgrossmann.bsky.social @veenomen.bsky.social @corinnepainter.bsky.social

Tired, but inspired & in good spirit after several days in beautiful Leiden at the #esshc25! @iisg-amsterdam.bsky.social took a foto of our panel of women and leftwing politics capturing the atmosphere! (@corinnepainter.bsky.social, Natalie Cornett, @magdalenakozlowska.bsky.social, Judith Szápor)
