Thrilled that Dr Da’adli (Hebrew University) will be in London for a while as part of his IHSS Visiting Fellowship @qmul.ac.uk. I very much benefitted from his tours in Ludd. Watch out for today's event as well as his talk on community archaeology on March 13: www.qmul.ac.uk/events/upcom...

Dieser Wahlkampf war spalterisches Gift für unsere Gesellschaft. Worauf es jetzt ankommt: Haltung zeigen! Die Debatten und Entscheidungen der nächsten vier Jahre sind entscheidend dafür, dass Menschenrechte und Rechtsstaatlichkeit unsere Gesellschaft wieder vereinen. #menschenrechtsruck

The most striking result from yesterday’s German election #btw2025 🇩🇪: 🔹 35 years after reunification: The GDR is redrawn on this map. 🔹 The AfD won 45 out of 48 electoral districts in the East. 🔹 In some parts of Saxony, they came close to 50%! Why is this happening? Here’s my take 👇

No matter what your feelings are about this event, the new association of Palestinian & Jewish Academics is an organisation to follow. It is in these shared spaces where people of different backgrounds and experiences come together where we can move forward in this acrimonious & divided discussion.

We're very pleased to announce that Anoushka Alexander-Rose's (@anoushka-ar.bsky.social) exhibition will stay with us at the GHIL for a while longer! It reframes the Wandering Jew from its origins in medieval Christian myth and presents how the legend has evolved across time and cultures. 👇

Londoners, come along. We will be discussing Memory Culture - I will say a few words on 🔥Germany. Itay’s absolutely worthwhile book gives you the bigger European picture at at time when many are asking why we are remembering, which events, to what end, and for whom.

New article out! I wrote about a small collection of eight salted paper prints by W. H. F. Talbot, housed in the Polish Academy of Sciences Kórnik Library. In addition to discussing these photographs, it explores the role of diplomats in the diffusion of paper photography across Central Europe

This is a really cool book. Colonial botanists in the Philippines were overwhelmed & needed indigenous knowledge -- but in succeeding colonial logics, what the Spanish scientists thought was botany & what the US scientists thought was different. Imperial "bringing science" but not the same science.

Why do museum & archival (colonial) collections get digitised & for whom? Who will get access, who benefits, and how long will the data last? When is it worth the cost? How can communities of origin still find their possessions, if they don't want them to be seen by everyone online? A workshop 1/2

How many stories can a museum object tell? How can they end up on a museum label? Will there be enough space? Who decides which stories to tell? 100 Histories goes to Paris tomorrow. Pleased to see that many museum professionals have signed up for the workshop that will take place before the talk.
