In case anyone who has joined here doesn't know of them, we set up a form/spreadsheet for #histodons to find each other:

and one for #asianists to find each other here:

And now there is a nice list of lists for academic Mastodon across many fields available here:

IMNSHO images of the former president of the United States or his tweets are 100% the kind of thing CWs are meant for.

Just something to think about.

I am migrating to Mastodon!

Here is a brief introduction. I am a historian of migration and displacement in the Middle East, Russia, and Eastern Europe.

I am an Assistant Professor of Global Studies at UC Santa Barbara, where I am also Vice-Director of the Center for Middle East Studies.

My forthcoming book examines the migration and resettlement of about a million Muslim refugees from Russia's North Caucasus in the Ottoman Empire. I am working on a new project on Muslim displacement in the Middle East, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and South Asia.

I am looking forward to building a new community with everyone here.
