I’m really grateful to the Executive Support Team in the School of Humanities at @uniofreading.bsky.social for updating my webpage on the Department of History website! I can only imagine how busy they are and so it really means a lot to me 🙂 #feelinggrateful

…then you should be willing to do the same for others. #milestone #academia #publishing #highereducation #service #community
… (I recall a reviewer of a funding application that I submitted some years ago now commenting on the fact that I was an assiduous book reviewer and that it was an underrated aspect of academia) and my view has always been if you want people to review your books…
…which I strongly believe does a disservice to their authors, as from my experience as a Book Reviews Editor potential reviewers are less likely to review a book if they can only receive an eCopy). But most importantly I truly do see writing book reviews as a form of academic service…
…One of the main reasons why I review books is to kept abreast of the new literature in the field. On a practical note you usually receive hardcopies of books for your efforts (although some publishers have continued a practice of only providing eCopies since Covid-19…
🧵 Today I wrote my 100th book review (photo of the book below)! It is quite surreal to think that I have reached this milestone. I reviewed my first book before embarking on my Ph.D. over two decades ago in 2004 (photo of the book also below) 🙂…
I was really excited to receive my complimentary copies of the latest volume in my ‘Studies in Transnationalism’ book series with Peter Lang Publishing today! I’m quite a hands-on editor and so I’m quite proud when a new volume is published in my series 🙂 #academicsky

My first class of teaching after quite a while at @uniofreading.bsky.social went well! And it was also so nice to meet some new and old colleagues 🙂 #workinghard #collegiality #feelinggrateful #academia #highereducation #teaching
I’m so pleased to see this amazing book by Brigid Magner published in my ‘Studies in Transnationalism’ series with Peter Lang! I’m especially excited as it’s the first literature volume in my inter- and multidisciplinary book series 🙂#academicsky #highered #publishing

I came across this article a local newspaper in the Fraser Valley, BC, 🇨🇦 published on my resignation from my former workplace, drawing on the article that I posted on LinkedIn explaining why I left:

I thought I would share this article about why I resigned as Director of the South Asian Studies Institute at the University of the Fraser Valley #sasi #ufv #abbotsford #bc #canada #academia #highered #bullying #harassment #toxicity #selfbelief #resilience #strength

Chadwick Cowie recommends that "those in fields of History, Law, Political Science, Indigenous Studies, and Environmental Science add MANOMIN to their ‘to read’ list" in his review for @jacanzs.bsky.social.
In her review for @jacanzs.bsky.social, Alexandra Giancarlo writes that BY STRENGTH, WE ARE STILL HERE by Crystal Gail Fraser "succeeds in bringing a humanizing sensibility to historical processes" and that the book is a "sweeping indictment of Canada’s education policies in the North."
Look at this beautiful issue, which includes a paper Emily Grafton and I wrote on relationality, visiting with books, and how Indigenous studies might be able to make room in political science... for now.
Volume 5 of JACANZS has now been published! It features cutting-edge research articles, fascinating reflective and showcasing pieces, as well as a plethora of insightful book reviews :-) And the best thing is it's open access and not-for-profit :-) #openaccess #notforprofit
