We will accept submissions for our annual book prizes from 01 Jan to 28 Feb 2026. Books of any academic discipline will be considered providing that they approach the French colonial experience from a historical perspective. Please contact bookprizes@frenchcolonial.org with any questions.

Dear Scholars, in January, I will be offering an online Environmental Storytelling writing workshop (online because of a hip replacement in Dec.) and wonder if Tuesday nights around 4:30 would be a good time to start class? We would meet 6 weeks, 1x week for 2.5 hours. Thank you for your input!

#FriendlyReminder: Eine Geschichte von Automobilität und Anthropozän wird heute Abend von der Umwelt- und Globalhistorikerin @smueller.bsky.social (Universität Augsburg) in ihrem Vortrag “Der asphaltierte Planet” beleuchtet. 🕰️ 18 Uhr 📍 Halle/Online www.leopoldina.org/veranstaltun...

Ein Mann fährt Fahrrad und transportiert auf dem Gepäckträger ein Kinderspielzeugauto. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Radfahrende und Autos auf einer Straße zu sehen. Das Bild ist in Blautönen gehalten und spielt mit dem Kontrast zwischen Fahrrad und Auto.

A man rides a bicycle carrying a toy car on the rear rack. In the background, other cyclists and cars are visible on a road. The image is rendered in blue tones and contrasts the bicycle with the idea of motorized transport.

I’ll be talking about my book and the background process today in Augsburg. If you want me to come and talk about the book at your venue, get in touch. And get those orders in!
