History’s booming in podcasts – but many of its academics are out of a job
We live in momentous times. History podcasts and books are more popular than ever. So why is academic history in crisis?

The great historian of Southeast Asia, Anthony (Tony) Reid, died yesterday in Canberra, aged 85. His studies transformed our understanding of Indonesia and the region. A professor at the ANU for many years, he also founded institutes at UCLA & NUS. And he was a lovely person

From Arthur Kleinman: 'Medicine on a Larger Scale is ... a step forward in imagining a counter-biomedicine that can better connect social suffering and healing with interpretive social science, post-colonial imaginings, and some of the more serious problems of the world. Impressive!’

I think Gemma, a graduate student here at Sydney, shows us all how we must speak up. She refers here to the current Australian election campaign, where the Trump-lite party is in retreat....
I'm possibly on some watch lists now but I honestly believe this is an issue that we need to speak out on, especially in the context of an election with one party endorsing these sorts of views. Academic freedom without diverse views is not free. Thanks to The Guardian #auspol #histmed #disability
The intellectual isolation of the US is a serious problem for all of us. The article features a couple of our outspoken Sydney HPS grad students. Obstacles to the brilliant trans student doing a PhD in the US are very disturbing.

Too late to offer a paper but soon registration for HoMSEA in Yogyakarta will open. An interesting article in the NYT on Yogya in the past day or so. While it's not as magical as in 1978, when I first visited, still worth experiencing. Not to forget Solo, only a few hours away, and much quieter....
Never Heard of Yogyakarta? It Might Be the Center of the Universe. (Gift Article)
The Indonesian city is home to some of the greatest Hindu and Buddhist temples, a thriving food scene and an area known as the Cosmological Axis, a cradle of Javanese culture.
