Quick Notes/Thread on Syria angles: What explains the stark polar reactions we are observing everywhere in the wake of the Syrian regime’s collapse? It is as though people are watching different realities, or approaching reality from singular angles. I’ll try to unpack here though I treated this phenomenon extensively elsewhere 12 years prior, and since. [warning: this is not fun reading] 1/7
Very proud of this online seminar series I contributed to organise with the Labour&Empire Working Group of the European Labour History Network. The seminar is open to all, link to register below.

Joined a fascinating panel this afternoon at @UoBrisHistory and @SPAISBristol with @lmaia @LCostaguta and @HistoryDarius on the US election
Student questions were fantastic, I was only sorry not to be able to be there in-person!
L'ultimo episodio di America Anno Zero, reazioni a caldo a un evento di portata epocale.
La giuria della Corte Penale di Manhattan ha giudicato #Trump colpevole per tutti i 34 capi d'imputazione. È il primo ex #presidente condannato. La pena sarà decisa l'11 luglio, poco prima della Convention repubblicana.

.@royalhistsoc has written to managers @unilincoln to protest proposed redundancies among historians. Plans will cut the dept by one quarter.
Lincoln History is v. successful. This should not be happening to historians who excel and perform great service for their university.
ALT Extracts from letter sent to senior managers at the University of Lincoln in defence of the History department and against cuts to historians' posts. the extracts begin: “The Department of History at Lincoln is extremely well-respected and important in our research community and among humanities academics more widely. In 2022 members of the Society’s Council made a day visit to the department and we were very impressed by the dynamism, ambition and success of Lincoln historians.” “The Society is very concerned that redundancies of the scale and focus currently being proposed will severely deplete the department’s teaching and research capacity. Lincoln is known nationally and internationally for its work in medieval studies, which brings close ties to the city and region, as well as for its work in the history of material culture, and of Iberia and Central and South America, among other areas.

May 1st / International Workers' Day is not a public holiday in the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia (in green in the map). The same applies to Japan, Israel and Saudi Arabia (in grey). It is celebrated in over 160 countries (in red) and, despite the difficult times we are living in, it is still an important day of protest and struggle.

My review of Workers of All Colors Unite by @LCostaguta (@IllinoisPress) has been posted to the website of the Journal of Labor and Society. brill.com/view/journals/jlso…. The book "helps scholars place the history of the American
left in a transnational intellectual context."
Lorenzo Costaguta retweeted
In Workers of All Colours Unite, @LCostaguta balances intellectual and institutional history to illuminate the clash between two major points of view.
