It’s finally done. Absolutely thrilled to have submitted THE SHAH'S GREAT TOUR – my global microhistory of the epic royal journeys of Persia's monarchs to Imperial Europe – for production. May it reshape our understanding of monarchy and the world order in the imperial age.

Only 38 pages in, and I’m hooked. (And absolutely do not sense the origins of modern conflicts within these pages…/s) Upcoming course is “The Global War” and I’m thrilled to be learning more about the ‘fringes’ of WWII. (Aka, what isn’t taught in US schools)

Neuerscheinung: "Das gelebte Europa!" Ich freue mich übermäßig, dass dieses von Florian Greiner und mir herausgegebene Themenheft heute erschienen ist - mit fünf großartigen Beiträgen, von Abolitionskampagnen über Wein und Versicherungen bis hin zu faschistischen Netzwerken und Siedlerkolonien...

Das Projekt Europa begann nicht erst mit der EU – es wurde seit dem 19. Jh. gelebt, erdacht und bestritten. Das neue Themenheft von Geschichte und Gesellschaft erkundet, wie es sich in Alltag und Praxis, Politik, Wirtschaft und Kultur formte. 🔗 www.vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com/themen-entde...
