I'm pleased to share that my new book, Soviet Museums Between the Two World Wars: Art History on Display, has just been published. It explores how museums in the 1920s and 1930s grappled with questions of art history, education, ideology, and display, issues that continue to resonate today.

This is the unfortunate reality in German academia. Most scholars have to drop out, but usually they are not welcome in other places. If you're an international researcher (this is my case), the situation is even more tough & options for employment outside of science are very [extremely] limited.
Amrei Bahr@amreibahr.bsky.social · 8mo agoGerman academia: great place to work? You should think twice before giving it a try: Permanent positions are very rare, most scholars have to drop out after some precarious years. @dianakwon.bsky.social has written a great piece about this for @nature.com and also talked to yours truly. #IchBinHanna

@florianurban.bsky.social found for our book Form Follows Fuel that it's v hard to get #embodiedenergy figures for buildings today. #embodiedcarbon is widespread, yet it's much less clear, and more vulnerable to distortion. Here's our argument: www.architectsjournal.co.uk/news/is-embo...
Is embodied carbon a vanity metric?
With ambitions for regenerative architecture increasing, it is vitally important that we measure the right things in trying to get there, say Barnabas Calder and Florian Urban

March 1969, Chen Wanli and his wife committed suicide at home. They were among the persecuted intellectuals in the Cultural Revolution. My latest paper traces Chen’s career from medicine, photography, archaeology to the museum, showing precarity and resilience of museum professionals in 20-C China.
