I wrote about global efforts to understand humans' ability to "artificially" modify Earth's environment as early as the 1950s. Excited to publish with the amazing Journal of Global History. Thanks to @GlobalHistJnl for making content widely accessible: https://t.co/QY3SWhxcoF

Happy International #MoonDay! "Historians of Europe, for their part, have paid little attention to #space... The technological utopianism often associated with human spaceflight is shot through with problems of modernity and power closely identified with #Europe," writes Goossen.

"The main landmass of Europe does not appear in the iconic Blue Marble photograph of earth...but regions visible in fact, included territory still administered at the time by Britain, France, Norway, Portugal and Spain." - @BenGoossen https://t.co/7LeVIh6JOI

“What you see now is a return to a pre-revolutionary understanding of what Russians are,” the historian Serhii Plokhy says. “We are almost back to the mid-19th century with imperial officers trying to hinder the development of Ukrainian culture and ideas.”

Humans are responsible for climate change, but we are also caught in the planetary gears. How can we make sense of this layered betweenness? Two recent books of literary nonfiction take an approach that enacts liminality in every aspect: https://t.co/4hCxebn6Gr

Frederick Douglass’s ambassadorship to #Haiti was widely seen as calamitous, and the government tried to lay the blame at his feet.

But his own account exposes instead the fraught negotiations faced by Black folk who served the cause of U.S. imperialism: https://t.co/auexgIjFGr
