ICYMI like I did - a powerful case by Priya Satia for why British history still matters and how ensuring that it continues to exist could be part of the struggle to remake our universities NACBS link.medium.com/L8SkjAz1yHb

Love what we do at EHN? We invite woman, trans, & non-binary ECRs to apply to work with us as content & review editors, preparing pieces for publication. Send descriptions of your research, interest, & bio by March 1. envhistnow.com/2024/02/22/cal…

A stunning op-ed by ⁦Priya Satia⁩ on the case we must continue to make to keep British history in the university.

A great reminder that we best not “succumb to far-right or neoliberal gaslighting about the value of what we do.” nacbs.org/forum/state-of…

. Priya Satia makes a fundamental point that most historians bemoaning the current crisis miss. Higher education has always served broader instrumental ends. There is no 'recovering' a more pure higher ed, there is only re-shaping those ends nacbs.org/post/a-way-for…

Grateful to NACBS for the opportunity to contribute to their forum on the crisis in British Studies. The full version of my piece, making the case for the field, is here: nacbs.org/forum/state-of… This excerpt focuses on practical steps we might take: nacbs.org/post/a-way-for…

Looking very forward to giving this talk on March 20--London and UK people, do please come!
