Das ist ein wirklich tolles Zeichen - gute Nachrichten, es gibt sie noch

Wir haben Geschichte geschrieben! Eine Mehrheit der Hamburger:innen hat beim Volksentscheid für ein neues Klimagesetz gestimmt. Während die Bundesregierung in Sachen Klima den Rückwärtsgang einlegt, geht #Hamburg nach vorne. Demokratisch und gerecht.

Hoffnung bleibt Handarbeit.

My colleague Jack Bouchard's book Terra Nova is out today! It's about early 16th-century mariners and the seasonal fishery around present-day Newfoundland, and its place within the Atlantic World. I cannot wait to read it

Digitale Methoden sollten Teil der universitären Geschichtslehre sein, findet Swantje Piotrowski. In ihrem Seminar analysierten Studierende mit #Recogito einen berühmten Reisebericht von 1633 und entdeckten, dass der Reiseverlauf wohl anders war, als im Bericht geschildert.

Dear historians, some of you often think about the Roman Empire, but what about the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation? In an article with Tobias Winnerling, we ask where we can find the #HRE in today’s pop culture. What should we not forget? All tips welcome! #earlymodern #medievalsky #history

Thank you all very much for the feedback and the great interest in this post, which strengthens my conviction that this article is not only enjoyable but also clearly very relevant! Will keep you updated!

Citizen Sailors e.g. is great research and a fantastic read. Nathan is also on episode 41 of Drafting the Past

Zemon Davis, Darnton, Ginzburg. As a student I also loved reading Norbert Elias, e.g. The Civilizing Process/The Court Society, for the way he develops his arguments. More recent inspirations include Lyndal Roper, Joel F. Harrington, and Nathan Perl-Rosenthal! Wonderful post and thread Liesbeth :)

I’m having intro chats with dissertation students this fortnight, and one of them asked which historians I’d recommend for beautiful writing they could absorb to further develop their own writing style.

So, gang, which are your favourite *writers* among historians, any time, any topic, any place. 🗃️

Is there anything more tantalising than the promise of an early 19th-century letter with the postscript "Burn this immediately"?

Here we go! :)

All very true

Oh! And what do you think about the question? What about Swedish pop culture? Are there any films or series, etc.? I guess Gustav Adolph might play a role here ... I should have asked this question while I was in Uppsala last December! :)
