Learning from the Lives of Threatened Plants Whose lives count in the modern history of extinction? Sadiah Qureshi considers what historians can learn by paying attention to the remarkable lives of plants.

“Paying attention to plants challenges historians to radically rethink common divisions of time and place, and assumptions about whose lives are historically interesting or significant.”

@sadiahqureshi.bsky.social on what we can learn from the lives of endangered plants such as the Wollemi pine.

Pop by and I'll make you a cocktail!

This is a favourite introduced to me by Roberto. A Venetian Spritz should actually use Select, rather than Aperol. (Imo Select is superior in all drinks)

A little glimpse into the wonderful Sound+Purpose conference I had the privilege to attend last month.

Congratulations! Great project!

Fire has not ceased

Congratulations to my dear friend, colleague and mentor-supervisor @samirasaramo.bsky.social for the completion of her exciting and ground-breaking @koneensaatio.fi funded project. I was honoured to give a presentation at the final seminar. Here’s to more life changing projects!

Thank you @lottaleiwo.bsky.social for being part of the event and the process, overall 🩷

On Thursday I got to reflect on the past years of working on my "Deep Mapping the 'Uncharted Territories' of Finnish Migrant History" project with wonderful colleagues near and far. Without exaggeration, this project has changed my life. Thank you @koneensaatio.fi!

I had the pleasure of hosting a workshop for MA and PhD researchers working on Finnish North American topics as the final event of my @koneensaatio.fi project at @infomigration.bsky.social. Really great to build our research community.

Picture is too funny, had to participate. You've just died. 6th picture in your gallery is what killed you.
