Tak - og Ja! sådan havde jeg det med Iran-Irak krigen.

Europa i krig - Den nordirske borgerkrig Den irske undergrundshær, IRA, kæmper med bomber for at fravriste Nordirland fra Storbritannien, så hele den irske ø kan blive forenet i en fælles rep

Der er aldrig tid nok. Selv når man starter i begyndelsen af det 20. Århundrede. Men til sidst fandt vi ud af at vi begge kom fra Farum (off air) radio4.dk/podcasts/eur...

I am happy to find out that it was all Marc Anthony's doing.

The weather chat of our age?

Læge Morten Sodemann danser rumba og tango: »Det er jo noget pjat at danse« Alle mennesker er mere end deres arbejdsliv. I denne serie taler vi med offentlige personer om det, de går op i, når andre ikke følger med

@mortensode.bsky.social har skrevet den mest vidunderlige beskrivelse af at gå til dans. Hvem får ikke lyst til at gøre det samme når de læser hvilken effekt det har på hans liv?www.information.dk/moti/2026/01/laege-morte...

Some Books I Enjoyed in 2025 — Jan Carson 2025 was a great reading year for non-fiction, older books and works in translation.

Here are all my book recommendations for 2025, carefully collected in one handy to read list. www.jancarson.co.uk/blog/some-books-i-enjoyed-in-2025

Inspired by Ann Rigney’s work on Remembering Activism, I put the “Internationalism Calendar” on my Christmas wish list. January is called ‘seeds of hope’ and details the story of protests against UK weapon production for Indonesia in the context of the struggle for independence in East Timor.

I lige måde!

Ja, men mangler stadig egentlig udveksling.

Tusind tak! Jeg har egentlig masser af følgere - og følger en masse, men der mangler egentlig udveksling. Glæder mig til at prøve dine råd.

Hvis 2026 skal være året hvor jeg for alvor begynder at bruge Bluesky, så skal jeg altså have interaktioner med nogle flere mennesker - hvem har knækket koden til hvordan man laver opslag med god trækkraft? #bluesky #whattodo #blueskythinking

One of these PhDs is geared towards Cultural Memory Studies - I must have a ton of former students who might consider applying?! (Let me know if you need a recommendation) @memstudiesassoc.bsky.social @slowmemo.bsky.social "memorystudies lnkd.in/ejSDwmhJ

Thick Mapping and the Local History of Urban Regeneration in North Belfast - Urban Matters Journal The Oldpark Carnegie Library in North Belfast has been closed since 2010, but is currently being brought “back to life” as part of a community-led regeneration initiative. The library stands in a part...

New short research article out in Urban Matters. It is a piece on thick mapping in North Belfast, drawing on ongoing research at the Oldpark Carnegie Library and local memories of regeneration. @slowmemo.bsky.social @memstudiesassoc.bsky.social

To engage your mind, you sometimes have to engage your body! Slow Memory COST Action members have developed two walking journals for Prague, Czech Republic, and Prishtina, Kosovo, that help us think through the city, spatial relations, emotion and memory.

Across the Narrow Sea – early reflections by Chair of Trustees Brian J. Cavanagh on our #BackToLife project Three months ago, if someone had predicted that I would be the interim chair of the Carnegie Oldpark Library trustees in North Belfast, I would have riposted ‘unlikely’; if they had then explained …

The project to bring the Oldpark Library back to life is so intriguing, not least from a peacebuilding perspective. Across the Narrow Sea – early reflections by Chair of Trustees Brian J. Cavanagh on our #BackToLife project carnegieoldpark.org/2025/11/03/a...

50 years ago what became the worst feud between the Official and Provisional IRA's began in Belfast. Anthony McIntyre's article, written in 2002, is one of the best accounts of this tragic period.

I am finding it hard to commit to a real change…

This! I bought a refurbished 13 mini last year (to replace my ancient SE, which I didn't want to give up precisely because of the size).

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
