Friends, I'm done with this platform. Hope to see you on bsky. I've made a lot of great connections on here, and esp for Irish gender & sex history, this has always been an important academic space, but just can't stomatch it any more bsky.app/profile/aearls.bsky…

We just digitized this 1920 map documenting violent actions by British forces between 1919-1920. It was likely posted publicly to raise awareness of British military and police activities.
Check out the digitized map at this link: library.bc.edu/iiif/view/991…

My newest piece for @RTE_Culture is on an overlooked building type that popped up all over Ireland in 20th century - the roadside garage. Huge thanks to John Tuite for giving me an opportunity to see inside on a Sunday afternoon and to step back in time

My teaching is being observed for tenure today. in my nationalism class, we’re discussing European colonial hierarchies, antisemitic violence, & Jewish Zionism a la Herzl’s 1896 suggestion to throw a “melinite bomb” to “clear a country of wild beasts” for the Jewish state to form
