Super interesting discussion with @brettrushforth.bsky.social and Chris Hodson about their new book about the French Atlantic: archives, collaboration, writing, organizing your research, questioning big narratives, history from below, and more #earlymodern

Drafting the Past@draftingthepast.bsky.social · yesterday

We're back! @brettrushforth.bsky.social and Chris Hodson joined me to talk about two decades of collaborating on BEYOND THE OCEAN, using visual and material culture to tell a different story, and more. Plus a cameo by Eminem! Listen here: player.captivate.fm/episode/f2ca... 🗃️

Finally listened to this episode. Really inspiring, especially on exploring multiple topics i.e. “grazing,” accessible writing, supporting mothers/families in academia & at conferences (yes please!), and striving for completion over perfection.

If you're facing down long travel to #HSS26, might I suggest some Drafting the Past episodes with historians of science? Like my latest with @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social: draftingthepast.com/podcast-epis...

“Done is better than perfect.” Thank you @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social, that’s exactly what I needed to hear. It can be so difficult and uncomfortable to send a draft off, but the peer collaboration in the editorial process is vital and one of the really beautiful things about the profession.

Had a great conversation with @katecarp.bsky.social about my environmental history research, writing, and the support that makes that possible. Have a listen! 👇

What a treat to talk to @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social, one of my longtime faves! We talked her (many) projects, quirks of academia in Scandanavia, and how history is the family business. I loved her new book GHOSTS UNDER GLASS @uchicagopress.bsky.social. Listen: draftingthepast.com/podcast-epis... 🗃️

What an amazing edipode! So great to hear about the collaboration of two inspiring scholars of theatre and history. (Also, I'm looking forward to reading "The Perfect Tuba" book.)

Really interesting to hear these reflections on how non-historians approach the task of writing history. The vast labour involved in familiarising oneself with the historiography of a topic or period in order to contribute to it is a great reminder that we are all (always) students.

This is a great interview (if I can say so), but I also want to say that MORE PEOPLE SHOULD BE READING THIS BOOK. It was so good, and I just don't think it has gotten enough attention.

Is there a book you've always wanted to write, but you haven't jumped in? Then this week's episode is for you. I talked with @profbrooks.bsky.social about her brilliant new book, THE MOYS OF NEW YORK AND SHANGHAI (@ucpress.bsky.social), and how she brought its characters to life. 🗃️ #skystorians
