Especially exciting to be part of an interdisciplinary conversation that’s thinking through the messiness of overlapping marginalizations. Given the current state of European politics, both your books make crucial interventions and it’s an honor to be reviewed together with you!

Going back to Flensburg just for the Zimstschnecken. Than you for hosting us all, @sebboo.bsky.social, in dem echten Norden!

Sébastien Tremblay @sebboo.bsky.social · Jul 6

Looking forward to hosting so many known and new faces in the North for the following days. Wind, Zimtschnecken and Seagulls for everyone!

Sarah Frenking @sarahfren.bsky.social · Jul 6

On my way to this fantastic workshop! Let's see how long it takes to get to Flensburg today, since travelling with Deutsche Bahn has become such an unpredictable adventure these days.. (today's reason for delay is a combination of vandalism and fires along the tracks)

Thank you to @npapadogian.bsky.social, Benno Gammerl, Christiane Reinecke, and Ulrike Schaper for their invaluable guidance!

The trials of John Stamford: gay travel, sexual harm, and Spartacus International Gay Guide

In among the madness, I'm delighted to have submitted the manuscript for our forthcoming book Incarcerated: Contemporary Photography from the Victorian Prison to @bluecoatpress.bsky.social.

Incarcerated brings together @andyaitchison.bsky.social powerful photographs of HMP Lincoln and Liverpool.

Thank you! That was exactly what I got from the sources - they didn’t make sense together, yet out of that deep incoherence we get a completely new way of thinking about Europe. That’s the kind of history I most enjoy doing, so I’m really glad it resonated!

The NAMES Project has been critical in not just expanding historical understanding, but creating a cross-generational memory culture of the crisis. I’m thrilled new generations of students and researchers will have access to this resource.
