Attention #AcademicSky Everyone is talking about books, but thousands of academic journals were also pirated and are entitled to up to $3,000 *per pirated volume!!!* if editors submit titles to join the suit. Incredible opportunity for underfunded journals to get some $$! #SkyStorians #MedievalSky

Thank you both so much! You're too kind @pgoldsworthy.bsky.social 😊

Bien sûr! Any excuse to visit the bookstore is welcome!

Honestly I would love a name index? I realize it's not as helpful as the American style but just figuring out if someone is mentioned in a book is a start.

Why don't French books believe in indexes? Don't they know how much easier life would be?

How lucky am I to share with wonderful colleagues AND to go home with flowers? I'm very thankful to have participated in the #GCFHSResist Colloquium, to have heard so many wonderful papers and gotten great feedback from colleagues! I'm now ready to get back home to my pup and get some rest.

My book, Desiring Whiteness, was awarded the 2025 Alf Andrew Heggoy prize for best book in French colonial history (1815-present)! In a world that is falling apart, I cherish this bit of happy news and hope for brighter days ahead for all.

I've made it to Paris for some summer research and conferencing (in July)! If others are around and want to meet up for a coffee at the BNF or an after-archives drink, send me a message!

Is there a better time to read and review books than summer? I don't think so - and I'm looking for reviewers for lots of titles for the Journal of Contemporary History. We now do review articles of up to 4,000 words, covering three books. These and many more are up for grabs:

Heureux de recevoir mon exemplaire de la Rhaf. J'y parle des étudiants étrangers et de la diplomatie culturelle de l'UdeM. J'y suis en belle compagnie, avec les articles de @camille-robert.info sur la "contre-révolution tranquille" et de S. Labelle sur la Voix des femmes dans le jeu international.

Great new article out by the inestimable Teddy Paikin - just when you thought 19th century French political economy couldn't get more interesting!

Looking through archive photos today for a new piece on militant editorial practice in Québec. One internal comment about an MS submission is truly the stuff of authorial nightmares: "Faults: everything. The author... doesn't manage to write a single natural sentence. Summary: not worth sh*t." 👀

I'm hooked. What is this?

Some really great replies here. (Others are less applicable.)

Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States

Thank you!! 😊
