The #SELECTstudy is out in @NEJM and at #AHA23 today. It's pretty much unmistakable now that #ObesityCare can help people lead longer, healthier lives. Time has come to tear down the barriers to equitable access to care.

Zurück von der Tanzreise.

Auf dem Heimweg hat das Beförderungspersonal, sowie die Mitreisenden, in die Hand gehustet und geniest.

Fazit:
3 Jahre Corona ...und es ist alles beim alten.

#Uganda has documented a rise in hatred, discrimination and violence against #LGBTI Ugandans since the passing of #AHA23. Take action now calling on the government of #Uganda to ensure accountability for these violations #RepealAHA23

Repeal «AHA 2023» and ensure accountability — Amnesty Urgent Actions

On 26 May, the Ugandan President assented to the Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2023. The Act criminalizes same-sex conduct between consenting adults and has retained the death penalty in cases of «aggravated homosexuality». Since the passing of the Act, increasing cases of violence and human violations against the LGBTI people in Uganda have been documented. The Government of Uganda must repeal the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 and ensure accountability for the attacks against the LGBTI community.

It was fortuitous timing that I was mingling with other young historians at #AHA23 when Emma Green approached our table and asked for our thoughts on James Sweet and the history field in general. Good to see her piece is finally ready. Check it out!

I think that the “death of history” op-ed in the NY Times reflects our collective state of mind about academic history. But it’s a much broader field and I feel it’s becoming more (not less) professionalized. Small historical societies and museums, for instance, digital, media. Imho #AHA23 showed remarkable vitality. I wonder what fellow @histodons think— I’m often in the “half full” side of things.

At #AHA23, #SimonSchuster generously handed out a few free copies of this new book about #enslaved #African people and their contributions to expanding and enlarging "the very concept of American freedom". Looking forward to digging in and learnng from this 800+ page tome. #BlackHistory #AfricanHistory #histodons

Outgoing AHA president James Sweet argues that attempts to make history an instrument and accoutrement of justice risk, “replacing one set of myths and lies with another.” In fact #HistoricalJustice is perfectly compatible w rigorous social science. #histodons #aha23

Enough with the circular firing squads. Presentism and political advocacy don’t threaten the historical profession, but “alternative facts” and educational “gag laws” sure do. #aha23 #histodons #history #fascism #democracy https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/08/arts/american-historical-association-james-sweet.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
As Historians Gather, No Truce in the History Wars

At the annual meeting of the American Historical Association, the raging battle over how to write about the past — and why — was uncomfortably front and center.

If you want to understand the incredible disjuncture between the old guard of historians and those on the front lines seriously seeking to stop the collapse of the profession, read this account of outgoing AHA president James Sweet's speech https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/08/arts/american-historical-association-james-sweet.html

and then @erin_bartram's talk

Many (not all) tenured senior profs are apparently content to keep debating methodology while the profession burns. It isn't just professionally irresponsible; it's unethical. The luxury of being able to have those debates is enabled by inequitable labor conditions and a failure to take responsibility for training grad students for nonexistent jobs.
