Nice New Year surprise, in part because getting books from Europe to the US has become such an ordeal.

coming your way in January 2026! perversely proud that, as far as I can tell, this will be only the *second* article in JHistSex primarily about bisexuality.

I was honored to contribute to the "Inventar der Migrationsbegriffe," which contextualizes German terms about migration. I wrote about the history of the "Wirtschaftsflüchtling" [economic refugee]--as you'll see, a term that deserves further research! www.migrationsbegriffe.de/wirtschaftsf...

good mail day. this was a hard chapter to write for reasons that will be obvious by the first sentence, but I'm proud of how it came out--and excited to read the other contributions.

unwittingly hiked to the estate of Philipp, Prince of Eulenburg-sadly the museum was closed, so I had to use the Kaiser's fountain to imagine myself into the scandal.

I'm writing another short piece on the history of the term "Wirtschaftsflüchtling/economic refugee," and hitting the digitized press archives. It's wild that the first time it appears in the FAZ it is to *criticize* deportation. This headline is from January 1966.

Patricia Hertel and Sasha Pack edited a special issue of the JMEH on "free movement" in postwar Europe, and I was delighted to contribute an article on the Italian organization FILEF. I also thought way too hard about how to translate the Treaty of Rome. doi.org/10.1177/1611...

The cheeriest thing I saw in the archives today. All the better since I am loving Phil Tiemeyer’s forthcoming book on JAT (and other things too).

when the neo-Nazis did it they invented the « Return Flight » airline, but the AFD have made themselves the airline. (of course, it’s the airlines you know and love that actually carry it out.)
