I don't often ask people to share things, but if you studied history at the graduate level since 2008, or know someone who did, please share this survey. It is an effort to collect data on the current disastrous academic job market in History. 1/3 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Philly area friends: see Tabitha's stunning & never before publicly exhibited rugs! what a treat!
Really enjoyed the opportunity to speak with @apagliar, @sicknerpe and Sheri Berman about the role of left political parties, social movements, and the future of democracy for @DissentMag's excellent issue on the global left. dissentmagazine.org/article/partie…
I watched 20+ Marvel movies in two weeks, then I lost my mind, then I wrote this essay for @DissentMag. Enjoy! dissentmagazine.org/article/marvel…
Honored to be in conversation with Sheri Berman and Zachariah Mampilly regarding the challenges facing left-wing political formations around the world for the Winter 2024 issue of @DissentMag on THE GLOBAL LEFT. dissentmagazine.org/article/partie…

I wrote for @Newsweek about my experience miscarrying in Texas after Dobbs. Democratic erosion and authoritarianism aren’t abstractions happening elsewhere—my story & that of other women are reminders that they happen every day in Texas & in other states newsweek.com/i-miscarried-t…
"Workers of the world have not united, and neither has anyone else, which means that the global left remains an abstraction. But it’s a useful abstraction to keep in mind," @Tim_Shenk writes in his introduction to the Winter 2024 issue's special section. dissentmagazine.org/article/a-left…
Our Winter 2024 issue, THE GLOBAL LEFT, is out now. dissentmagazine.org/issue/winter-2…

Team @BeaHero here. Many of you have asked what you can do for Ady’s family as they grieve. One way you can help is by donating to the GoFundMe created by his friends. It would have meant the world to Ady to see folks come together to support his family. gofundme.com/remembering-ady

New bio-essay by Alasdair MacIntyre: "The Communist Party at Queen Mary College had introduced me to the texts of the Marxist canon, and I had become and to this day remain convinced of the truth and political relevance of Marx’s critique of capitalism." churchlifejournal.nd.edu/articles/on-ha…

This was five years ago. Today would have been Elijah‘s 16th birthday. He was stolen from us by DIPG, the rarest and deadliest pediatric brain tumor, the day after he turned nine years old. I miss him just as much today. It’s a weight that never goes away. A constant companion.
1/ Today would have been my son Elijah's 11th birthday. He died one day after his ninth birthday two years ago from DIPG, the deadliest and rarest childhood brain cancer, 51 weeks after his initial diagnosis. He spent his last birthday as he wanted, with family and friends.
The responses to Eric’s tweet are gross. I have no trouble believing this incident happened. Nothing about supporting a ceasefire or the protestors at Columbia commits you to denying that anti-semitism is real, more visible of late, and can sometimes be found among the left.
