I know not everyone shares my #Foucault obsession, but this just out in #Archivaria 100th anniversary issue "Legacies of Critical Theory in Archives." Thanks guest ed @archivalobjects.bsky.social. Thanks also @historiamagoria.bsky.social for hosting my Messecar Visiting Prof gig, where this began.

Looks amazing.

Nice one.

When my parents were denied a tourist visa for a family vacation in Canada, it felt like history repeating itself I convinced my parents to travel from India to spend time with my family, but even though I have made a home here, it feels like I do not belong

It was truly a wonderful experience ... so great to meet McMaster history people, all doing such interesting, vital work. And now with a soundtrack!

So excited to welcome @stevenmaynard.bsky.social to McMaster this Thursday as our Messecar lecturer! His talk, In the Archives of Infamy with Michel Foucault, is going to be fascinating!

Getting excited ... @historiamagoria.bsky.social

Ordered!

Excellent round-up by @lanrickbennett.bsky.social of resources on Jackie Shane for #BlackHistoryMonth. Jackie's decision in the 1950s to leave a transphobic and racist U.S. behind is really resonating today. Not that things were so much better on this side of the border, but ...
