Reading World Athletics latest eligibility rules regarding women's participation in their competition. Sex testing is fully back, and the feeling of taking a bad trip down the past is real 🤢

In terms of archival records and sources on the history of #sportscience, the institute at @unimarburg.bsky.social is a very fortunate case. So, it was a pleasure co-editing this issue:

I am once again telling you that taking money from Musk makes you complicit in his instrumentalization of cultural heritage to support his beliefs. Taking funding from amoral entities is, in my opinion, not ethical and it is in fact harmful. www.finestresullarte.info/en/news/elon...

Happy to share some thoughts on #plato, the body and #physicaleducation in this year‘s issue of Nikephoros.

(Learned so much from this journal and still can hardly believe that some of my own reseach has now been published in it…)

Reception is also linked to narratives of self-positioning. Now carefully read the „policy“ (sec. 2a) and the definition of so-called „classical architecture“ (sec. 3c)…

President Trump has signed an executive order that requires federal buildings in Washington to maintain a classical style of Greco-Roman architecture associated with the marble columns and austere hallways of the Supreme Court and U.S. Capitol.
Trump Signs Executive Order to Make ‘Federal Architecture Beautiful Again’
The order, which affects buildings like federal courthouses and agency headquarters, encourages classical styles rather than modernist aesthetics.

Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.
Quote from a story on changes at the U of Chicago that notes they are "pausing" doctoral eduction in Classics, Comp Lit, Germanic studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Romance languages and literatures, and South Asian Studies.

I don’t know which academic needs to hear this but yes you should absolutely email other academics just to tell them you enjoyed their article/book/chapter. Just do it. Don’t overthink it.

Hello So-and-so, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed ‘Title’. Hope you’re well. Best, You.

Done.

Try asking #ChatGPT to generate a picture of a 'sports historian'. You’ll probably get one of three results:

1. looks unintentionally funny
2. overload of problematic 'isms' and categorical assumptions
3. both at once.

#AIgenerated #sportshistory #history #digitalhumanities
AI/ChatGPT generated picture of a sports historian (categories: male, white, able-bodied) who sits in a study filled with historical sports memorabilia. He is wearing glasses, a white shirt, tie and a dark grey knitted jumper. He gazes intently through a magnifying glass at (or slightly over) an old newspaper lying on a wooden desk. Around him are numerous books, trophies, a basketball, an old tennis racket, a typewriter and framed black and white photographs of athletes on the wall. There is a laptop with a cup sitting on it, so that it seems like he rather uses the typewriter. The light falls through a large window, which illuminates the room.
