Just received my copy of @drsurekhadavies.bsky.social's "Humans". Having had the pleasure of reading an early draft, I can commend it to you as a brilliant tour through all the inventive, bizarre ways people have created Others in order to better understand ourselves. Out now! (in the UK on 4 March)

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

First academic read of the new year is a superb one by @sacrobosco.bsky.social—essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how historical ideas about reproductive bodies (as well as the misapprehension of these ideas) continue to inform our present, often in infuriating ways.

I know academics who use AI regularly, for work and play, and I'd really like them, and universities, to tell me how they contend with AI's bottomless appetites for power and water. Is asking ChatGPT to interpret a Xmas song or making it write your syllabus worth this to you?

Can I ask any #earlymodern historians out there for article-length readings on the connections between books/print culture and mobility in the period? Collecting/libraries certainly but also role of mobile printers, materials, etc. Maybe @onslies.bsky.social has ideas ... ?

“We tend to assume that because there are more women completing doctoral degrees and at the assistant professor rank, gender equity is inevitable at some point in the future. These results show that this assumption is flawed.”

Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.

Just re-upping this old post seeing as there are more early modernists knocking around here these days. Your recommendations for articles & books on multilingual cities in the early modern world (15th-18th centuries, mostly) would be most welcome!

Historiography request: recently I've been trying to read as broadly as possible about multilingual cities in the early modern world. It's a huge topic and while I've found work on sites from Nagasaki to Vilnius to Cuzco I'll still be very grateful for any suggestions of reading people can offer!
