What do you reckon: Is that a fantasized Wilhelm II having chocolate and sparkling wine at a charity bazaar, yes or no?

Jamie was an infinite treasure, a generous mentor to the graduate students fortunate to enjoy his guidance at Emory and a brilliant mind whose valuable work will outlast him. 😔

Excellent start into the weekend @germanhistsoc.bsky.social
Screenshot of an article acceptance letter. The journal is German History at Oxford, the article, an investigation into what Otto von Bismarck ate--and what it all meant. The title will change from "Acts of Eating" to "The Ingestive Semiotics of Otto von Bismarck" but everything else is correct. The prospective publication date is in late 2026 in volume 44 issue 4.

Pals, do you know a graduate student who has written a fantastic, 6,000-9,000-word (unpublished) essay in German Studies? Maybe you've written it yourself? The GSA is looking to award the best grad student essay, as judged by @claudiakreklau.bsky.social, @dominiquereill.bsky.social, and me!
