LASA 2027 CFP! Send proposals roundtable interventions on "Change & Status Quo in the Latin American 19th Century." How does the 19c unsettle, complicate, or deepen our vocabulary of collapse, crisis, reinvention? Case studies, open reflections and questions, and specific examples are welcome!

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

Friends in the Boston area: I'll be in Tufts in a few weeks for this symposium I organized with @isabelaf.bsky.social and a brilliant group of scholars. We have been engaged in these conversations for a few years and are excited to keep them going.
Poster for the event Saudade: Towards a Luso-Afro-Brazilian Genealogy of Longing. A colloquium examining how saudade-often celebrated as the untranslatable soul of Luso-Brazilian identity-intersects with the histories of slavery, colonialism, and racialization. April 17 from 9am to 3pm at Fung House. Includes a QR code to see the program and RSVP.Program for the Saudade colloquium. Can be accessed in legible form through a QR code.

to the extent that there is a “carrot” to trumpism it is the same carrot that slaveholders offered to lower class white men: “you can be an overseer”

Confesso que nunca comprei a premissa do livro, mas o Thomaz articula uma crítica brilhante neste texto que vai bastante além da minha implicância inicial.

Only @danielagtzf.bsky.social can bring scholars, chefs, and food justice activists together to talk about how we talk about food––and how we eat it. I'd say run to get your ticket if you are in California, but there are no more tickets left...
