Brandon O'Brienthis period will be particularly difficult for a lot of people: freelance writers and artists, independent art outlets, journalists, educators, and more.
follow your faves wherever they may be going.
keep circulating the tapes.
see you where I see you.
More of an introduction than I've done before:
I'm an environmental architectural historian, or maybe a historian of the built environment, certainly something too long. Currently a British Academy Postdoc at The Bartlett, UCL, where I work on the coastal histories of Belgium, England and the Netherlands.
If you are transphobic, racist, ablist, think that empires were good or that it's not racist to hate travellers, expect to be blocked.
varsha the hot dam historianso obviously i'm sad twitter died, mainly because i got a lot of my indexing jobs that way, so if you need to have a book indexed, hire me! (please reblog this academics)
Lauren PikóDoing a proper #introduction post to goad myself into posting here more...
I'm Lauren. I trained as a #historian, though I'm often somewhere in critical #interdisciplinary #CulturalStudies spaces these days, via a patchwork of casual/sessional roles.
I wrote a PhD and book about the history of #MiltonKeynes and its negative cultural reputation. I work on contested landscapes, and how they reflect temporal orientations. I also give workshops on #ResearchMethods , #DisabilityStudies , writing, #reflexivity, and #history for non-historians. My current project is on #eco-crip #QualitativeMethodology and fatigue epistemologies, which is unfolding at an extremely #CripTime pace.
While I joined here to follow #histodons, I will also sorely miss #CriticalRole and #Dimension20 loreposting (and #TTRPG liveplay livetweets in general). If you have elaborate theories about #ExUCalamity I am all ears.
Having never used so many hashtags in one space before, I think I need to go lie down.

Emily O’Gorman#introduction I have just joined and trying to find #envhist #envhum #ozhist and other folks on here (not sure of best # yet!). I’m working on a history of international wetlands conservation post-1945 and a few collaborative projects centred on more-than-human watery themes.
Lisa HaushoferLook, I know this platform is not the place for self-promotion, but the beloved hellsite is surely only hanging on by a thread, and it's my birthday today 🥳, so I'd love it if you could show my book (coming out next month) some love... Here's an excerpt that the press have kindly made available (click the link for full excerpt) https://content.ucpress.edu/title/9780520390393/9780520390393_wonderfood.pdf
