Hello (again) Bluesky !

Do you work on the topic of death and militancy in the francophone world in the late twentieth century (in any discipline)? Do you want to join us in Montreal to talk about it? You're in luck! See the website for the CFP and more details! #🗃️ mortetmilitantisme.wordpress.com

Tu travailles sur la mort et le militantisme dans le monde francophone? Ça pourrait t'intéresser de venir à Montréal en novembre? La conférence interdisciplinaire "Mort et militantisme" pourrait être pour vous! Tous les détails sont sur notre site. #🗃️

This is a great idea: a developmental editing workshop, run by the Journal of Global History. But, it's for colleagues for whom English is not a first language - and who work in institutions outside Western Europe and North America. 🗃️ networks.h-net.org/group/announ...

Notre table ronde virtuelle est aujourd’hui!! Il y an encore temps de s’inscrire!!
