Delighted that one of the best Twitter traditions, #duvetknowitschristmas, is over here now. Enjoy, and contribute to the fundraiser if you can 🎄

You would never guess from Nigel Biggar being ennobled, and Niall Ferguson being knighted, that there has been a revolution in how imperial historians actually talk about British imperial history. Christmas sympathy to the hundreds of historians out there doing actual nuanced work. Don't give up.

Do you want to know why Britain's university system is imploding? Well, if you do... Make yourself a nice coffee, pull up a chair and take a look at what I wrote back in the summer for Prospect magazine. Please repost if you agree! www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

I've just read the LRB's take - from 1999 - on the Macpherson Report. It is: really really bad!! It concludes by saying "the most dangerous legacy of the Inquiry lies not in its specific recommendations but in its sentimentalised and unbalanced approach to the consideration of controversial issues."

Recently published in paperback: The Global Challenge of Peace by Matt Perry, which scrutinizes 1919 as a complex threshold between war and peace contested globally from below. More here: liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/book/10....
