Niche question for historians: does anyone have literature suggestions/ recommendations on the love letter from a historical perspective (ideally in the post war period but any period is fine!) 💌

Extremely happy to have contributed to the second handbook of our DFG Network "Queere Zeitgeschichten im deutschsprachigen Europa!" Open access! A wonderful tool to teach queer history with topic-specific chapters and examples of source analysis! www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-7...

Do you use AI translation to let students read materials that would otherwise be inaccessible (or too difficult)—if so, do you discuss the ethics of doing this (labor, inadequacy of translation, env costs, etc.) and how?

i am super biased here because i am an academic and would like to continue to be one *but* i do feel there comes a point where you have to ask yourself what the point of ‘the economy’ is if it doesn’t support education or healthcare or the arts or housing or food or water and utilities

BlueSky academics, let’s get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about. 1) “The Europe that Gay Porn Built, 1945-2000” 2) Britney Spear’s “work b*tch” is the lost 4th volume of Marx’s Das Kapital.

Historians of Eastern Europe, let's do a thread below to find each other easier! Share your main country/ies of expertise and your dominant approaches! 🗃 My main contexts are state socialist Hungary and Yugoslavia (from outside the region, Vietnam and Cuba), and I do women's history. #skystorians

I made a Starter Pack for Women's and Gender History because when I looked yesterday I couldn't seen one - sorry if it's now been superseded. You know the drill by now: please just let me know if you'd like to be added, and equally if you'd prefer not to be listed, just shout. go.bsky.app/KR9qXhj

I spoke to two wonderful archivists at the Open Society Archives about their vast and varied (and to a large extent digitized) sources for @peripheralhist.bsky.social - take a look! I really recommend the archive for anyone working on post war Central/ Eastern/ Sotheastern Europe :)
