I had an incredible opportunity this week to discuss my book Colonial Suspects with colleagues in colonial history at the University of Granada, Spain as part of the Suspicio Project funded by the European Research Council. I received an incredibly warm welcome and I learned so much.

I am also doing this in my 100-level class and so far no complaints.

I have not read the Lacouture book, but I find Jackson to be very readable and engaging.

Although I am a history professor, Minnesota history is well outside my field. I wrote this because I was inspired by the events happening in Minnesota today and because my son is a sixth grader studying Minnesota history. I've learned a lot from him.

Yes! I keep thinking about this. Seems like an Anglicanism that is seeping into the conversation.

This isn’t my field. I’m not working on anything even remotely related. I don’t generally read this area. However, this is the most exciting sounding conference and I would attend in a heartbeat if I could. Sugar: Bringing Sweetness to Light gustavus.edu/about/nobel-...

I met Melissa Hortman once at a fundraiser in our town about 70 miles southwest of the Twin Cities. Most people live in the metro area and its easy to ignore the rest of the state. But, Melissa came to see us. She was a kind and generous person and a great leader. Thank you. Rest in peace, Melissa.

I hope I'm not too late to share this book by @richardivanjobs.bsky.social. I already ordered it for my college library, but would love a personal copy. I'm tagging @drsepinwall.bsky.social and @rpanchasi.bsky.social

I haven't actually read Lethal Provocation yet. It's on my list for the summer. I think chaps 2 and 3 are the most impactful in terms of argument. Chap 4 is great for understanding WWII.

Alyssa, a lot of the webpages for NEH grants are still active, but I have serious doubts that they will be funded. I'm waiting on a notification for an application I submitted last August.

Great essay. It reminded me of the situation in India a few decades later as described by Mike Davis in _Late Victorian Holocausts_.

I did not know it was going to be a dystopia. They tricked me into thinking it was a regular political thriller.
