1) I am so excited finally to have caught up on posting about all of the books I was privileged to work on with authors/editors in 2023, that now I want to present a preview of some of the @AmsterdamUPress titles imminently forthcoming! Here comes a short thread.

🚨 Image fees and UK museums - a breakthrough moment. The system is collapsing. There is now no reason to pay fees for historic artworks (2D) in most cases. The UK's art history tax is over. Scholars, the public *and museums* will be better off. A 🧵

This last weekend of the year I want professors, postdocs, and other PhDs who are thinking about leaving academia to know that you can make this happen for yourself without losing what you most love about scholarship, teaching, and research.

Happy Holidays, from my queer Jewish and Christian household, to yours. May your holiday season be warm, safe, and filled with loving kindness and goodness. And if you need a place to celebrate, my door is always open.

Hey Twitter #Furniture friends! Talk to me/let me know about your favourite over-sized #ottomans! We're looking for a large one for our living room - the bigger the better, and storage is a HUGE benefit! Thoughts/options!?

This is my relationship to a TEE. And it’s SO FUNNY to me.

Helpful hint to Jews going to Christian services, for some reason at theirs it's considered rude to shit talk the sermon while it's still happening. Important to be aware of these cultural differences!

Thrilled to have been awarded a Paul Oskar Kristeller Fellowship from @RSAorg to begin work on my second book project, a first critical edition of the 210 surviving letters of Luisa Donati Strozzi, spanning 1466-1510! Delighted to be bringing this remarkable corpus to the world.

For correct takes on humanities discourse and Harvard discourse, you can look at some of the things I wrote this year:


It me :D

I am completely insignificant in academia. I thought that was obvious, but just in case it isn’t, know this, I am absolutely unimportant in every way that really matters.

I think I might rehash this piece: activehistory.ca/blog/2013/03/2… There is a lot of Kool Aid out there (mostly regurgitated by @TheHubCanada series on Who Killed Canadian History), which seemingly deliberately misrepresents #cdnhist & the work of university-based historians.

As a Canadian historian, and a public historian too, I'm tried of reactionary articles whining about so-called woke history like these. Since he harps on about residential schooling and gets much of it wrong, let's set the record straight: financialpost.com/opinion/canada…
