@ktgerbs.bsky.social provides an essential link in understanding the creation of racialized slavery. She demonstrates how Christians—intentionally & not—tied bondage to status as a Christian and, ultimately, how this tied assumptions about the heathen to enslaved Black people.

Race Isn’t Biological — So Why Do So Many Still Think It Is?

@kevinlala.bsky.social and @kztwyman.bsky.social blog about their recent paper in the journal Evolutionary Human Sciences

www.cambridge.org/core/blog/20...
Image from the blog showing 5 solutions to countering scientific racism 1. Introduce students to the complexities of developmental processes 2. Introduce students to the complexities of inheritance processes 3. Explain that variation between racialised groups in behavioural and cultural traits is not caused by genetic differences 4. Debunk scientific racism in school and university level science curricula 5. Acknowledge and contextualised the racist histories of academic fields

The radical right in Britain increasingly claims to represent "Christian values" & "Christian civilisation" - though its leaders rarely go to church or pretend to believe anything.

It's especially important that Christian leaders speak out against this, as it's their tradition that's being claimed.

A courteous but very impressive rebuke to Nigel Farage from the Bishop of Oxford.

"I heard no compassion in what you said...".

"I disagree profoundly with your attempts to ... increase fear of the stranger in our communities".

We’d be keen to host you as a British Academy post-doc in the School of History @qmul.bsky.social

Do join our info session on Wednesday, 16 July, 1pm where we demystify what the process is, what to focus on, how to give yourself the best shot. Email [email protected] for link #SkyStorians
British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship – call for Expressions of Interest open The School is now inviting expressions of interest for candidates interested in the BA Postdoctoral Fellowship. Please consider directing any outstanding early career scholars in your network who are eligible to apply (see below) to our Postdoctoral Opportunities page. The deadline for EoIs is 4th August 2025. Next Wednesday July 16th at 1pm the School is running an online information session for applicants. Prospective applicants should email history-research@qmul.ac.uk to request the link. Eligibility criteria Applicants must be within three years of their successful viva voce examination. For this round of competition, applicants are expected to have completed their viva voce between 1 April 2023 and 1 April 2026. Exemption from this criterion may be granted for reasons occurring after the date of the viva voce examination such as: maternity leave, illness, family commitments etc but this must be confirmed with the BA prior to application. Applicants must be a British citizen or EEA national OR have completed a doctorate at a UK university. Any applicant who does not fall into one of these categories must demonstrate a strong prior association with the UK academic community, for example through a previous period of non-permanent employment (for a minimum of 12 months) at a UK university. Applicants must not have held a permanent academic post in an institution of higher education at any time in their career (exemption may be granted if a permanent role is below 0.5FTE). Unlike the Leverhulme scheme, candidates cannot ordinarily resubmit (unless invited to do so by the BA) unless they reach second stage – so unless they have an exceedingly strong publication profile, candidates who are very recent graduates will not usually be competitive. They are welcome to submit an EoI, but they may well be encouraged to wait a year before applying. history-research@qmul.ac.uk

Travel read. An interesting view on the myth of 'Western exceptionalism' from the perspective of political science. Helps me think further about racialised global structures and how they were rooted in medieval Europe #premodernrace #medievalsky
