Yesterday, the news broke that the Flemish government will end funding for @iobua.bsky.social in just 3 months! This risks students’ futures, 32 staff careers, & undermines a cornerstone of Belgium’s hard-won international scientific reputation. A short-sighted decision with lasting consequences...

The Flemish government’s unexpected decision not to renew IOB’s agreement puts €2.64M funding, 32 jobs, key programmes and global partnerships at risk. Support us! https://bit.ly/saveIOB #saveIOB #developmentpolicy #developmentpolicy #iobcommunity

Biographies linked with publications show that mothers reach peak scholarly productivity later in life, declining until children reach school age, while fathers experience no change. The time costs of raising the baby boom generation led to a loss of female scientists thru failure to achieve tenure.

“Cataclysmically bad” This new series of ECR blog posts on the French History Network makes for grim reading, perhaps grimmer even than some in UK #FrenchHistory might have realised. 1st post, anon ECRs in French History on what it’s like right now out there: frenchhistorysociety.co.uk/6691/ 🗃️

Earlier this year, Vicky Holmes published 'Living with Lodgers. Household Economy and Social Relations in Working-Class Victorian England'. It is a great book that not only rescues the lodger from the mists of history, but also invites us to question Victorian household ideals. Highly recommended!👇

Loved the Pfälzer Wandermusikanten workshop @ Kusel! The Institut für pfälzische Geschichte und Volkskunde brilliantly connected 'academic' with 'local' historians. The castle setting and hearing the music performed live by the Kusel Music Academy were unforgettable experiences. A 🧵 following soon..

What is the difference between a historian and a sociologist? A long time scale and bad data. Perhaps a bit reductive but on point what the data concerns 🤣 Sam Bass Warner being interviewed by Bruce Stave in the first issue of Journal of Urban History in 1974

New Microsoft study estimates that historians are the *2nd* occupation whose tasks AI can mostly cover, based on a large database of its Copilot users & their reported satisfaction. That AI makes a poor historian is imo not a debate, but the fact that so many turn to LLMs for history is concerning.

Lodging housekeepers occupy a dual role in history: they are well established in key debates on housing, work, and migration, yet they are rarely the main subject of historical analysis. A small 🧵 on what studying this group teaches about this subject based on my new article in #SocialHistory

"Talrijke problemen die de hoofdstad vandaag geselen (vluchtelingenopvang, bendegeweld, verpaupering, de zwaar verloederde stationsbuurten) worden maar al te graag als exclusief Brussels voorgesteld. Dat zijn ze allerminst". Historicus Anton Jäger scherp in De Morgen. www.demorgen.be/meningen/een...

Een herfederalisering is zeker een democratisch schandaal voor een stad die haar eigen vertegenwoordigers kiest

Anton Jäger is historicus van het politieke denken en doceert aan de universiteit van Oxford. Zijn column verschijnt tweewekelijks.
