If anyone has ever experienced iCloud emails suddenly getting lost or permanently deleted: I had the problem and the solution was to turn off Apple Intelligence - the built-in AI can organise and delete emails on its own, as confirmed by support. Good example of immature AI...

My book is OUT TODAY!! Ask your librarians for a copy!!

My first book, my first “very serious” research project, and a really fun (yet sometimes frustrating) journey. I hope you enjoy reading about the Agata as much as I did researching and writing about it!

Also, there is a discount code 😉

Brilliant collection of case studies on restitution claims of African cultural objects and human remains in European colonial collections. I love the chronology of restitution efforts provided and the reflexivity of the research process and methodology!

Strange archival finds: in January 1943, the Daily Telegraph summed up Nazi Germany's propaganda on the Inter-Allied Declaration against Axis looting by referring to "stolen treasures" in the British Museum and the Louvre.

Can anyone point me to a good guide to the use of #Zotero with #LaTeX? I think this is where #informationliteracy for PhD researchers is going... bear in mind I'm also a novice to LaTeX :)

Eighty years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army.

1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over.
Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.

"Fürchten darf sich ein Mann vor dem Tod. Aber sicher nicht vor Männern. Im Beruf, in Vereinen, in Familien werden Männer ständig von anderen Männern verletzt und erniedrigt. Fast alle schweigen – wie immer bei Gewalt – aus Angst. Aus Angst vor Entmannung."

Para entender la magnitud del horror: desde 1994 han muerto 10.000 personas tratando de cruzar la frontera entre México y EEUU. Ha muerto tanta gente tratando de llegar a España en un año como tratando de llegar a EEUU en 30 años.
