Yes, I remember that one, but I hadn't thought it through for these "tech transfers" (although I seem to remember A.Kagame having similar arguments about material culture for Rwanda)

Also true, but there is only one of these professions I'm in myself and it's history and there it's glaring for me (I assume it's the same for others, but I can't evaluate it in the same way)

Also, I never understood historians in this list (the Microsoft list)? Unless you have a really misguided idea about what historians actually do?

Oh the Hamitic hypothesis influencing interpretations here as well (I did not know this)

Applying or suggesting discriminatory rules, and/or affirming rights don't apply to migrants, whatever the logic or justification, undermines the demand or expectation that migrants should affirm 'universal' [sic] principles such as rights, equality and nondiscrimination

I love this dialogical format - we paired, commented and asked each other questions - which really opens up the actual research process as it usually happens behind the relatively closed doors of seminars and conferences.

Oh interesting! This would have been so useful for the intro of my book

De inhoud van het artikel: Theo heeft nog niet gesnapt dat het toch echt al meer dan 60 jaar niet meer Belgisch Congo is.

En Afrique, comme ailleurs, les Européens ne sont pas les premiers explorateurs Aucun espace terrestre n’était inconnu avant le regard porté par les Européens sur le continent africain. Dans toutes les régions du monde, des savants produisaient des connaissances dans leur propre ...

Pour quelques semaines, chaque vendredi, je propose dans l’émission de @xaviermauduit.bsky.social sur @franceculture.fr une chronique sur l’histoire de l’Afrique.

3 minutes pour raconter l’histoire du Sahel et du Sahara et comment on l’écrit aujourd’hui.

Compleet in shock val van m’n stoel klomp gebroken niemand had dit zien aankomen

Ouch maar niet fout 😬

The real threat of AI is the collapse of trust - Poynter Why journalism needs to prove which images are authentic — not just label deepfakes

We're unprepared for AI's big threat.

It isn't just deepfakes. It’s a world where nothing is trusted, including real evidence.

I wrote in Poynter about fake images from MN, Trump's Maduro photo, and AI "enhanced" ICE agent faces.

Instead of labeling what's fake, we need ways to label what's real.

And indeed, what is this "precolonial" period. Hundreds of years all lumped together.

Yes, slave trade is an important one, but apart from that I would also say state and non-state (not that non-state societies would be necessarily less violent, that's not my point) but I think violence does serve different purposes in different societal contexts and that also matters

Yes but this whole idea that some violence is more "civil" (hypothetical: drones vs. machetes for example) always seems like discourse justifying certain kinds of violence, and often justifying state violence rather than anything else

Almost too ashamed to say this, but my knowledge of European history is too limited to say anything concrete about this.

Doesn't seem fair to all of global history (not a denial of violence, but it really does depend) nor fair on 1815-1914 in Europe probably.

It's just full-blown racism? Or am I missing something?

Ja, dat snap ik echt, en ik hoop voor jullie dat er gauw nieuws is (en vooral, dat het goed nieuws is!). Goeie moed gewenst!

Dat maakt het niet minder stresserend voor studenten natuurlijk, ik wil het ook niet minimaliseren. Ik hoop oprecht dat jullie snel nieuws hebben.

Ik bedoel, ik denk niet dat het is "iemand die al om 17u naar huis is". Mensen aan de universiteit werken meestal door tijdens dit soort belangrijke momenten en proberen oplossingen te vinden. Proffen en ander personeel hebben ook vaak tijdens het weekend door verbeterd

Ja, ik wil hier niet iets zeggen die niet klopt, punten moesten idd. vandaag binnen zijn, maar in de praktijk zijn er dan nog vaak een aantal andere dingen die kunnen foutlopen. Ik weet dat het nu op de fac. studentenadministratie alle hens aan dek is

Dus dat betekent dat ze pas donderdag online komen?

Maar ik vond wel dit op de website?

Ik hoop dat de resultaten snel online komen dan!

In Belgium this is less common

Not entirely the same, but in my intro class African history I had someone taking my class from a pure mathematics program, as well as someone from the photonics program. They both did really well, but I have to say I was intrigued. I want to see the 5 classes they took.
