Still plenty of tickets left available to this for anyone with an interest in history, Star Wars / popular culture, and writing fictional histories

Don't walk, run! Or just click very fast

So for the e-book readers/fans in the US, it seems that 'Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire' is heavily discounted down to $2.99 for Black Friday: https://t.co/MS7WH94b8R

je sors de @LaContempo_BAM, qui se prépare pour le vernissage de l'exposition sur les enfants en guerre. Félicitations @pignot_manon et toutes les autres ayant travaillé sur une expo malheureusement trop d'actualité

As someone who is currently desperately looking for a job, tonight’s @FWWsoc PhD/ECR event exploring the UK job market was very insightful! Big thanks to @pierrepurseigle, @juliarsct and @AllisonLynnNL!

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

@LouBell @AllisonLynnNL @FWWsoc @pierrepurseigle It was indeed very useful and I am so glad we were able to organise it and kick off the series with someone as knowledgeable and generous as Pierre :) hope we can catch up and be job-search buddies soon, Louise!

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

Thanks to my wonderful book buddy @Vanda_Wilcox, I have a much clearer idea where this is going and am so happy to be starting it!

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

This is such an important initiative to support Irish ECRs in French studies!

Ppost novo no blog Ferramentas para Doutorandar ! O conjunto de ferramentas para doutorandar de hoje é, na verdade, algo para se pensar só no fim do doutorado: elas vão te ajudar a transformar sua tese em livro.

[Oh! What a Lovely Podcast (Account Inactive) @OWALPodcast]

Happy new episode day! This month @ein_haus and @teachlearnwar join us to talk about the different ways the #FWW is taught in classrooms!

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

Just continuing the conversation (not leaving academia!), but what are Historians and FrenchLit people out there doing?

[Céline Henne @celinehenne]

Not saying I'm leaving academia (yet) but... out of curiosity, philosophers who left academia, what are you doing now, and are you happy? Could we make the replies to this post a database of alt-ac jobs for philosophy PhDs?

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

Thanks to everyone who suggested ways to make ends meet as an academic on the job market! I have started teaching Portuguese and French at a local language school and will definitely look for opportunities in the areas you suggested

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

Yesterday I got rejected from a job I really wanted. Today I submitted my book manuscript. I will probably get more whiplash concussions from academia than I did from rugby.

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

@CarolineLaurent thanks!

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

academic peeps, what (part-time) jobs were you able to do/do you recommend while turning your thesis into a book and looking for an academic job? sadly NOT asking for a friend :(

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

Oi pessoal, temos post novo no blog: alguns conceitos de gestão de projetos que você precisa conhecer durante o doutorado para conseguir se comunicar com administradores acadêmicos das agências de fomento e financiamento. https://t.co/T5A9NFvPCF

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

This hits close to home. I started my blog after seeing a friend (Brazilian, black, from the favela) be fired from her funded PhD between year 2 and year 3 because they thought she wouldn't be able to finish - in a lab where I've seen European men take 7 years 😡

[UnisResistBorders #WearAMask #BordersKillKnowledge @UnisNotBorders]

Over the past 48 hours, we've let the🫖 brew over #AcademicTwitter concerning the @BBCNews report of @lakshmipriyab07, a DPhil @UniofOxford student who was demoted to a masters degree.

Our 🧵will unpack some of the arguments we've seen over this case.

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

Spent nearly 9h compiling stats - the only paragraph missing in my book (which is due in less than a week 😱), but I truly believe in the utility of these threads and enjoy ending my weeks doing them!

[ASMCF @asmcf]

Hello and welcome to another #FrancophoneFriday! We have a loto f research being done in or about the Francophone world to share with you. 🧵 1/9

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

This beauty of a book is out https://t.co/ogupsJM16t! I have a chapter in it about a fascinating object from the @historial1418! Huge thanks to @cr_historial and to my wonderful editors @FurneauxHolly and @matilda_greig

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

Two of my favourite colleagues + Star Wars? It was not hard to say yes to this.. though tbh we will be discussing the more historiographical aspects than actual #StarWars (I WILL be wearing a Star Wars t-shirt though!). Do come along and listen to the wonderful Chris!

[Chris Kempshall (Gone to Bluesky) @ChrisKempshall]

Following the publication of ‘Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire’ @AMFoster_, @juliarsct, and myself will be discussing its approach to ‘Writing Fictional History’ at the @ihr_history on 26 February 2025: https://t.co/LYLhG9h7hJ
