Firaxis—the studio behind the Civilization series—is hiring a historian. An *actual* historian.

And note, when they ask for "4+ years as a Writer, Narrative Designer, or other position with commensurate duties," that includes teaching, writing, and research—i.e. your Ph.D. in History.

Danke, liebe Sarah, dass du für mich auf Hawai'i Spuren von Russ:innen aus China verfolgt hast! Was für ein spannender Bericht 🥰🤓

Schaut mal in diesen SEHR empfehlenswerten Blog zu Sarahs Forschungsreisen rein!
Für eine ungewiss lange Zeit ist das mein letzter Blogbeitrag. Dafür habe ich hier noch einmal ein kleines Schmankerl an DP-Geschichte - zu russischsprachigen Antikommunisten und Hawaii! Danke an @lenachristoph.bsky.social vakantio.de/mitgeschicht...
Was antikommunistische "Russen" in Südostasien mit Hawaii zu tun haben
Es ist komplex und ja, auch das ist DP-Geschichte.
