1. It is with great sadness that we learn the news of Bruno Latour’s passing today. He was an intellectual giant, a friend, & someone whose work inspired me greatly. A thread for those who want to know more about this extraordinary life.
Amazing work by @ForensicArchi do look it up. The accompanying New York Times video about is also well worth watching. Tireless work by Louisiana historians and archaeologists also to highlight these serious issues and the lost cemeteries. #lostcemeteriesofenslavedpeople
Our latest investigation is out. With @risestjames, we built tools to find lost cemeteries of enslaved people threatened by industry in Louisiana’s ‘Death Alley’ and used fluid dynamics to evidence the impact of toxic petrochemicals on Black communities. https://t.co/sQSsFTn2Bx
hare far and wide. An integral part of our society should not be disregarded like this. They allow creativity, critical thinking and much more and should be for all. Lockdown has shown how vital they are to wellbeing in society. #artandculture#heritage#saveartsandhumanities
This is urgent! The Government wants to impose a catastrophic 50% funding cut to arts subjects at higher education (HE) level in England. I've joined the @Public_Campaign for the Arts to tell @GavinWilliamson: arts education matters. Will you join too? https://t.co/9wyp0B3CdE

@LMcAtackney This format is so much fairer to those on limited budgets. As you can dip in and out and visit recordings you would have missed IRL. IRL can also be a intimidating and lonely if you don't know anyone or waiting for your people. Hotel can make you feel a bit Alan Partridge-y!
@LMcAtackney Agreed. Enormous barrier regarding costs and especially early career researchers just emerging from the PhD. Have been fortunate getting a couple of travel prizes but generally can't afford. Also, mega ones have so many timetable/paper clashes. Defeats the object somewhat.
Do you like books? And are you interested in death? Dead Good Reading might be the blog for you! Starting next week I will post a weekly review of a book (academic or otherwise) related to death, dying or the dead. Happy Reading!

All those projects and policies in the heritage sector, but do we really undertake the necessary impact assessments? The toolkit developed by @Andy_Pen_Health is a fantastic resource to help understand wellbeing, on which heritage has the greatest potential for positive impact.
The next ‘Era of Reclamation’ event focuses on the Caribbean, as @Bonn1eGreer and Director Hartwig Fischer are joined by scholar and researcher Ian Foster, and food historian and podcaster @SmyGoodness
