Forgive me for not engaging right now but every time I log in, I feel overwhelmed here. And I pretty much agree with this article here re twitter:
https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/twitter-blue-ticks-elon-musk-white-people-leaving/. I think I need more time. Bear with me.
Leaving Twitter says more about you than Elon Musk

OPINION: The platform was already a haven for abuse. What could be taken away is structural privilege, not safety

I'm a historian of global and colonial history with a focus on the history of visual culture, collecting, museums, heritage, and race in and between Modern Europe and the Middle East. Still undecided but if I stay I will mainly post about current heritage and memory culture debates. At the heart are continuities and why history matters for politics today. Nice to meet you all. Please check out this dear project of mine (not yet on this platform but @100_worlds on twitter) https://100histories100worlds.org/

Hello all, still testing this platform and this is my first post here. So I will start with something light and easy:
How can memory culture be pluralized? What are positive histories of solidarity between victimized groups in post-war Germany beyond the concept of Opferkonkurrenz? I edited a Special Issue on "Memory Cultures 2.0" and it's now online foregrounding underrepresented voices with new approaches to what wasn't an easy debate. #HistorikerStreit #CatechismDebate https://www.ghil.ac.uk/publications/bulletin/ghil-bulletin-44-2022-no-2
