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!

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

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

[Elizabeth O’Brien Ingleson @lizingleson]

It was a real pleasure to join Miranda Melcher on the @NewBooksNetwork 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.

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.

Today marks the anniversary of the end of Apartheid in South Africa.  Sue Onslow convened a round table to explore connections between Cold War endings and this conflict, and its historical significance.

In 1973, too, there were both pro-Arab and pro-Israeli demonstrations in the US, although circumstances differed greatly.

As today, unions and everyday workers (have) played an important role in the struggle to end apartheid. Check out @MattieCWebb’s latest piece on transnational worker solidarity in @BlkPerspectives

@AdamSeipp @BrianDrohan @ModAmHist @SHAFRConference @mewalters101 @elisabmpiller @SMH_Historians @TheGSA @historyTAMU @tamulibraries Glad to see the publication of our forum on the entwined (and complicated!) histories of humanitarianism and the US military. My contribution focuses on the US military's role in disaster assistance operations during the 20th century. Open access.
