I’ve been looking at this Tierilä’s work Pelastuneet (the saved) in the Researcher’s Room of the Library of Finnish Parliament for an year now and it is an accurate depiction of what the final stages of PhD looks like. Also proof the library staff has wicked sense of humour 😂 #PhDSky #AcademicSky

Another permanent job going in Ireland, this time in European History at DCU History Department. It seems like a lovely department and you'd be joining a great community of scholars in the Dublin area and across the island.

I wonder if anyone could recommend work on Republican China using #socialnetworkanalysis? I'm familiar with Kong & Ploeckl's (2022) excellent article on banking networks, but are there any others using Republican era data? #skystorians #academicsky #phdsky

Trying to write on British railway history is also testing how many different ways to misspell "Sir Nigel Gresley" in one document.

I created a starter pack for social network analysis, since this one was still missing.
LMK if you want to be added! (I'll like the comment after adding you.)
Also, check out the other starter packs for network science and complexity (so this is more social science).
