Moritz Föllmer @moritzfoellmer.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Ben Kafka on France and Peter Becker on the Habsburg Empire/First Austrian Republic come to mind. There is also a journal, Administory, which might be worth checking out. 120
Moritz Föllmer @moritzfoellmer.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Soll ja immer auch für Nichtexperten inhaltlich plausibel und als Text nachvollziehbar sein. Wenn der Artikel auf Deutsch ist, wird es ohnehin wenig Spezialisten geben. Viel Erfolg! 110
Moritz Föllmer @moritzfoellmer.bsky.social · 20/08/2026naja, Stadthistoriker halt! Mut zum Amateurismus, würde ich sagen (wenn Du Zeit dafür hast). 111
Moritz Föllmer @moritzfoellmer.bsky.social · 17/08/2026In belated response to your question: It's not THAT bad, but I really dislike these constructions with 'with' and '...ing', as in 'retirement has become a hot topic for historians, with Helen McCarthy arguing...'. I think they have become fashionable quite recently, I didn't use to encounter them. 000

Moritz Föllmer @moritzfoellmer.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Right, even longer ago - time passes more quickly than I prefer to acknowledge. 011
Moritz Föllmer @moritzfoellmer.bsky.social · 12/03/2026That's, to put it mildly, unusual editorial behaviour. The request was probably due to someone else not submitting their review. It should have come with apologies and been followed by thanks. Hope all is well with you otherwise! I still fondly remember our MA course in 2011/12. 110

Moritz Föllmer @moritzfoellmer.bsky.social · 09/05/2025This essay summarises the approach and key arguments of my recently published book The Quest for Individual Freedom.
