Global history is booming—but is still mostly West-centered (1/2)

Congrats to @JM_Johnston + @Annarosstweets for editing the @ContEuroHistory special issue "Navigating Post-Imperial Transitions after the First World War." I just read the intro: what an amazing resource! I forsee it becomes required reading for the field! https://t.co/DomeDkgzIJ

@cszabla Yes, agreed it’s disappointing but I was expecting a bigger drop.

@zeithistoriker @AmHistReview Can I review this classic :) ?

"A paper in the International Journal of Higher Education Research, using salaries as a measure of quality, finds that since the UK voted for Brexit it has on average attracted scholars of lower quality." well anything looks bad measured in UK salaries https://t.co/tlkBHabgeq

EP Thompson (in the second excerpt) on what we miss when we don’t allow space for the “inwardness” of evidence

The “I could have painted/written this” argument from the 19th c. Also, the critique of modern art precedes modernity and modernism. (Doyle’s Monthly Almanac, June 1846)

On the importance of student evaluations: Turner was a horrible lecturer - nominated at 26 to the Royal Academy as professor of perspective, he mumbled and jumped between topics, used confusing images (See his lecture “slides” below). He would not get tenure today :)

What do these Brandon caps mean for Central European shoppers who buy them? Are they worried about gas price hikes in the US??? Who would buy these here? #letsgobrandon #prague #xmasmarket https://t.co/nsnwmH7Lio

@c_szabla This is the same argument Germany used in 1914 to argue that int'l law isn't truly universal, but Anglo-centered. Now China uses the same argumentation to booster its own imperialism.
