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

In the vein of economic history reviews, does anyone have recommendations for good publications on Boxer Indemnity remissions, particularly US? Especially critique on Hunt's work, or any other recent articles?

My personal record is currently three, but I think I can break it. Just like Flying Scotsman and Mallard 🚂🤓

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

'Doing a history PhD is useless and a waste of taxpayers' money' blah blah...

Researching the past can yield so many treasures we have no idea we need until we actually need them.

Screenshot of article about the restoration of Notre Dame with highlighted the fact that the restoration was made possible thanks to the fact a PhD student had studied the timber frame before it burnt down completely

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).

Do you have a student who is a non-native English speaker #NNES ? A post-doc? A collaborator? Are you a reviewer?
It takes years to get to express yourself in a foreign language, if it ever happens
