There's now a live map of job losses in Britain's universities. As the retreat unfolds hour by hour, hopefully we'll be able to follow it here. Or maybe not hopefully. ☹️

My books finally arrived! Very grateful to the team at @cambridgeup.bsky.social for the superb production and supporting the project. Thinking today of the late David Fitzpatrick who began this project and to whom it is dedicated, and also of my mother who would have loved to see it in print.

Book titled America in Ireland: Culture and Society 1841-1925, published by Cambridge University Press.

Using Don MacRaild et. al.'s 'The Death Census of Black '47' today to get students discussing famine deaths, charity and relief, disease, and emigration. It offers an excellent primer on the Famine and all the compiled primary sources, all of which is OA! 🗃️ www.cambridge.org/core/books/d...

1/2 Does no-one in the American government understand that tarrifs led to the world wide depression of the 1930s? Or that appeasement contributed to world war two? NATO was created to provide global security and is now being eroded.

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.
