I did a terrible job announcing this in the rush to arrange everything, but I have started a new role as a Research Fellow in Global Health History at the University of Leeds! Our project (PI: Robert Hornsby) will study the USSR's role in the WHO and global health, 1957-1991. Lots more to come!

Not an earth-shattering point, but it occurs to me that the entire infrastructure of robo-service is optimized to make sure only *my* time is wasted. I have a question. 2 emails and 1 phone call later, I have gotten a robo-reply and a robo-phone message. I have not managed to trouble a single human.

Great to see the volume is out in ebook form, and in open access! Full of wonderful contributions! Check out my chapter on Soviet participation in the "wider networks" of WHO malariology if you want to know how Soviet specialists both reinforced and transcended the boundaries of the Cold War!

It also includes my chapter on “International organizations and the issue of natural disasters during the Cold War” alongside contributions by @crwdietrich.bsky.social, @simon-graham.bsky.social, @marekeby.bsky.social, @dsharnak.bsky.social (and other great scholars not yet on bsky) (2/3)

Has anyone written about the (apparently ill-fated) Soviet role in the 1939-40 World's Fair in NYC? NYPL has over 1,000 linear feet of records on the fair, and mentions significant controversy over Soviet plans and eventual withdrawal...

New year, new (post about a) starter pack! I’ve been slowly adding people to the Russian/Soviet/Eurasian history pack as they appear. If you’ve never seen it or it’s been a while, check it out! And if you want to be added, just ask (reply or DM)! go.bsky.app/CagBxPQ

I’m teaching Research Methods for the first time this coming semester. #skystorians , tell me about articles in which the authors use their primary sources in unconventional, masterful, and/or especially compelling ways. Any time period, any topic! Trying to fill a few holes in the syllabus.

Designing a graduate course for students who have no familiarity with working with archival sources. Any readings I should or could include in the syllabus?

Loren Graham (based at MIT) one of the greatest historians of science, who wrote on Russian & Soviet science, passed away on Dec 15. Loren's brilliant insights and publications are many but he was also an incredibly kind & generous scholar. He supported me throughout my career & I owe him immensely.
