The japanese built an artifical island, knowing these are the natural habitat of the dutch.
Soon afterwards, a flock of dutch merchants settled there, allowing the japanese to easily harvest western goods

I have great news to share: I was appointed as a Visiting Professor (2021-22) at @hsestpetersburg. Very much looking forward to reconnecting with dear colleagues and working on my new (old) project on the history of the Black Sea and its free ports. 🌊

[hidden europe @hiddenEurope]

Interesting to see how debate about free ports around British shores is shaping up. No recognition by @hmtreasury and @BorisJohnson that free ports are common across EU and not a new invention by post-Brexit UK.

Of interest to @free_ports @PeterStefanovi2 and @stplbrk perhaps?

[Sussex Uni News @SussexUniPress]

“If we apply the American model to the UK, the only real sector that would benefit is dog food, literally.”

@pholmes8 of @uk_tpo tells @seblebanon of
@NewStatesman that the success of #freeports elsewhere in the model cannot be replicated in the UK.

[Australian Academy of the Humanities @HumanitiesAU]

The Australian Academy of the Humanities today expressed deep concern about the Government’s changes to university fee structures, which disproportionally affect the #humanities and call into question the very role of the 21st century university.

CANCELLED: This Monday's seminar at @KNIRome will not take place due to corona virus containment measures. Looking forward to bringing these scholars together for this event in the future, once this has blown over.

[Free ports @free_ports]

Excellent programme, also with a seminar by Giulia Delogu, on 'The Emporium of Words: Free Ports and Port Cities as Laboratories of Modernity (16th-19th centuries)'

@nina_econ @INTELLECTUALHI3 @HCIntellHist @IntHist @benhuf @Toby_Nash @SophieLoyWilson @mikejbeggs @stplbrk It might take a little while unfortunately.. (watch this space..)

[Free ports @free_ports]

@nina_econ @INTELLECTUALHI3 @HCIntellHist @IntHist @benhuf @Toby_Nash @SophieLoyWilson @mikejbeggs @stplbrk Thank you! Yes, the idea is that papers from our workshops (Venice, Helsinki, Sydney & Harvard & Seoul to come) will be published: as special journal issues. And using all the material & new insights, a collaborative volume on the general history of the free port (1600-present).
