What happens when you mix social inequality, anxiety about technological advancements, a generation of well-meaning idealists, and savvy cultural influencers looking to seize power? To learn more, read my book, Balzac on the Barricades, @uvapress https://t.co/Yd9vumw926

@CdeChaisemartin And not to be confused with the Louis Blanc's plan for a system of "Ateliers Sociaux" which, in this non-economist's humble opinion, would have been less of a disaster!

Hi @airfrance you cancelled my flight without notifying me and your US customer service number isn't working. How can I book a new flight?

Hello teachers! I have assigned (perhaps unwisely) “Werther” to my students this term. This will be my first time teaching it, I have 150 students, 3 TAs, and we’re 100% remote. Any tips on softening the blow?

@V21collective Baudelaire and Proust (each one work only). They were team taught (art historian + French lit) so it worked well.

Hello French #twitterstorians does anyone know of a good secondary source about the child labor law of 1840/1841? I’m reading the report by Charles Dupin and could use some context. Thanks in advance!!

Bravo!
