Every day is a gift when writing comes easy. Today is one of those days.

If you're attending #ASEEES25 and are interested in how the new nation-states acted as nationalizing states, join us tomorrow at 2 pm.

Our volume is finally out! Open access to boot! Personal thanks to Michal Frankl for his patience and trust ...and, of course, to our authors for powering through the long production process. manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526189929/

Book review writing Wednesday📚🗃

Monday musings

Coming soon!📚🗃🗃 I contributed with a chapter: Writing Contemporary History in Late Socialist Hungary: Dissecting Institutional Legacies.

At the third session we finally got started on Texts and Contexts. The students engaged with the political thought of Anna Kéthly (HU) and Milada Horáková (ČSSR). We have a nice interdisciplinary crowd (history, gender studies, sociology, polsci, English) and apparently, quite some enthusiasm! 🗃🗃

Yes, if I reviewed a manuscript in the first round, I will make sure to be available for subsequent ones. No, I am not happy when none of the reviewers' substantial recommendations (two reviews altogehter) are taken on in the new version that is supposed to be a revise and resubmit.

A last-minute addition to the syllabus? Anna Dobrowolska's recent monograph is an exciting read. 📚🗃🌈🗃

Funny how academia works: nothing for ages, then boom, 2 articles in a week. The 2nd began with @rekakrizmanics.bsky.social email. Not my usual period but those intriguing AAN files kept calling… Of course, Jewish threads are in: I wouldn’t be me otherwise 😉. doi.org/10.1177/0888...
