My contribution focuses on the US military's role in disaster assistance operations during the 20th century. Open access. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

As today, unions and everyday workers (have) played an important role in the struggle to end apartheid. Check out Mattie C. Webb’s latest piece on transnational worker solidarity in Black Perspectives

Baseball isn't everyone's "thing" but I'm going to hype this. The space is more like a sports bar/arcade. Comes with a $30 food/beverage/merchandise voucher. Grad student tickets only cost $25...do the math #SHAFR2024

It was a real pleasure to join Miranda Melcher on the New Books Network (@newbooksnetwork.bsky.social) podcast to talk about my book! I spoke not only about the big ideas of the book but also some of the stories, and even the process of writing the book itself. Listen here: newbooksnetwork.com/made-in-china

Another reminder to check out my latest article in Enterprise & Society @EntandSoc. It is a part of a special issue on corporate responses to racial unrest.

Highly recommend applying to one of my favorite conferences—the annual Graduate Student Conference on the Cold War. CCWS at UCSB is hosting it this spring.

The 2025 UCSB/GWU/LSE Graduate Student Conference on the Cold War CFP is now live: ccws.history.ucsb.edu/news. The conference will take place at UCSB from May 8 to May 10, 2025. Proposals are due February 3, 2025. We welcome proposals on any aspect of the Cold War, broadly defined!

Reposting this because the application deadline is now less than a month off! If you're a grad student working on topics relating to the Cold War (very broadly defined), please take a look. If you teach or know someone in that category, please tell them the same. Everyone—repost!
