My book Sea Level: A History has been translated into #Korean, and the cover looks just amazing! (and then it was reviewed in what, as far as I could discover, is South Korea's main business newspaper: www.hankyung.com/article/2026052128…)

you go on and off for years to improve your reading skills of #Kurrent / #Sütterlin, even trying to adopt the latter as you "secret" handwriting and then: first comes #AI and seems to make all of it redundant as #HTR improves incredibly; then you go to an […] [Original post on hcommons.social]

I am extremely happy to have had the honour to open #ESEH2025, the 13th #ESEH conference, in beautiful Uppsala! Luckily the attendance was greater than it looks from the first picture 😁 Now listening to two amazing keynotes by Heli Huhtamaa and Stefania Barca. #envhist

H-Oceans just published a very kind review by Christine Keiner of my book Sea Level: A History (University of Chicago Press, 2024). What I can definitely agree on are the compliments to the jacket designer, Rae Ganci Hammers, for a stunningly beautiful cover […] [Original post on hcommons.social]

Reading this while on the dole makes the truth of this comparison even more evident #jobmarket #academia #lumpenproletariat

A text snippet reading: “the comparison of the vagabond and the scientific field researcher. Arguing for the "psychological identity of a scientific quest with the pursuit of game," Thomas pointed out that both are migrant workers who travel to gather new experiences (1923, 10). The difference between the two is that society regards one highly and the other not.” A hand written comment on the side reads “I feel seen!”
