First session of @sgsah-platformed workshop #TheoreticallyHistory just ended. We had a brilliant time discussing, both appreciatively and critically, the analytical and political contributions of Marxism. Incredibly engaged room. Looking forward to next time with Weber and pals!

Hello! My latest article titled “Consuming China in Early Modern England and Beyond: A Survey and Re-examination” is now available online. It is meant, in some ways, to complement my earlier piece published in the OREAH. Links below. @lsehistory

However, white academics, curators and "experts" need to address a hard reality: we make our living and build our careers out of framing and representing the Chinese Other, and therefore we are obliged to interrogate how and by what authority we do so. postcolonialpolitics.org/nar…

I've been reading Utz's "Musical Composition in the Context of Globalization" & it's been good to see there are others that are trying to decouple the idea of composition as only developed in the West: a perspective that's needed!
Also, it's open access.

There's a platitude that historians are expected to repeat - and which I too dutifully repeat, because that's what people expect - that the past matters because it tells us about the present. It's true, of course. But there's also an important way in which it's NOT true (thread)

@rowanrush has made such a difference to the searchability and usefulness of our LGBTQ collection records. Work that will impact outreach and exhibitions. Plus he fitted in with our ethos of cake hard work dog chat perfectly ✨
Glad to see you've put your arts & humanities skills to work for @EdinCulture collections, @rowanrush! Great to know you enjoyed your internship placement 😊
