This is an excellent book - and a fantastic cover! Really looking forward to seeing ‘Museums and Patronage’ publish later this year 🎉 We’ve been an Associate Partner on the Museums and Industry project the book links to, led by the Science Museum Group. @sciencemuseum.org.uk @sas-news.bsky.social

Delighted to be publishing this with @uolpress.bsky.social and a big thank you to everyone involved in the project and the publication.

University of London Press@uolpress.bsky.social · 6d ago

The other title launching our #OpenAccess book series, Understanding Languages, Cultures & Societies, published with @ilcs.bsky.social, is Artificial Intelligence, Art and Indigeneity, edited by @theapitman.bsky.social, Sandra De Berduccy & @andreasrauh.bsky.social. uolpress.co.uk/book/artific...

A banner with UOLP branding shows the book cover for new Open Access book, Artificial Intelligence, Art and Indigeneity, with a review quote next to it. The quote says: 'Artificial Intelligence, Art and Indigeneity deftly explores the tensions, contradictions and creative possibilities that arise when hegemonic AI technologies are reappropriated in the service of Indigenous and decolonial imaginaries. Creative in its methodology and writing, it is a valuable resource for scholars of Latin American visual culture, critical Indigenous studies and digital humanities methods.' —Sarah Abel, Assistant Professor in Philosophy of Science, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

'What’s the value of a History PhD? A view from business' bit.ly/4elv1cW In this new post, Richard Marks charts the skills gained from completing a doctorate. From project design & management to data retrieval & analysis, History PhDs bring capacity and experience that are in demand #Skystorians

Opening page of RHS blog post: 'What’s the value of a History PhD? A view from business'. Full abstract: "In this post we hear from Dr Richard Marks, a former business analyst who, having completed a PhD in 2024, now works as an independent historical researcher and author. After a long career outside education, Richard’s experience both of business and PhD research means he’s well placed to identify the broader skills History PhDs acquire while designing and studying for a doctorate. In creating and completing a PhD, you’re gaining capacity in project design and management, data retrieval and analysis, as well as engagement with varied audiences. Such skills are central to professions beyond higher education and highly valued by employers. Richard was one of 25 researchers who attended a recent workshop for independent historians, organised by the Royal Historical Society and held at the University of Warwick in May 2026."

For anyone contemplating a history research degree, or finishing one and pondering what to do next, Becoming a Historian by Penelope Corfield and @timhitchcock.bsky.social, published by @ihr.bsky.social in 2022, is an invaluable guide. I wish I’d kept Hugh Trevor-Roper’s short guide for comparison.
