Scholars need more time to think. It is not just to find something interesting, but also the way one manages to say and convey a message. Historians need time to explore details! #histsci #histphilo #17thcentury #bluestorians #skystorians
Still super proud of this little blog post on historical crocodile attacks...or maybe I'm just thinking a lot of about a certain new book project on animal attacks in the colonial space....? Who's to say!

We hear a lot about immigration these days. We easily lose sight of the significance of *emigration* to Canadian #history — it is still a little-taught and little-known part of our past. Here are 5 fast facts for the #Bluestorians among us. Feel free to share, comment, or add your own cool factoids.
I'm particularly interested to follow and hear from historians interested in folklore, Latvian culture, print culture, early modern and modern media. Pretty broad #skystorians #bluestorians
Abijah Fowler is a fantastic antagonist in Blue Eye Samurai🏯
