In a perhaps unusual "thrilled to announce" post for an academic... My band's first album, "Of Hope and Rage", a loose adaptation of Percy Shelley's "Masque of Anarchy" was just released! Check it out: thesetitansweresilent.bandcamp.com/album/of-hop...

More images that didn't make it into my book. Group photos from India House in London circulated widely in British newspapers in the early twentieth century. These two are from 1907 (left) and 1908 (right).

A request for help. I am looking for article-length examples of historiography that takes place and built environment seriously. I don't think exactly architectural history, but emphasizing people occupying and using particular places. This is a methodological example for an undergraduate project. 🗃️

Rendre les études à l'université inaccessibles n'est absolument pas une bonne solution. L'expérience britannique suggère qu'augmenter les "fonds propres" des universités par ce genre de moyens mène à plus de désengagement d'état et pas plus de budget : commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...

Mais je pense qu'on arriverait pas à avoir une position consensuelle sur le sujet, particulièrement pas au niveau du groupe LSH.

Les AG de section (qui ont lieu à toutes les sessions) et ensuite les réunions de la Commission Permanente du CNU peuvent a priori servir à ça. En tout cas rien n'empêcherait de discuter de ce genre d'orientation.

Je rejoins par contre totalement @claireplacial.bsky.social sur l'importance des COS dans ce genre de discussions. Et c'est plus facile potentiellement de faire bouger les lignes en COS qu'au CNU...

Il faudrait aussi convaincre suffisamment de collègues au CNU, ce qui n'est pas nécessairement une mince affaire...
