This was such a good conference! Thanks for the hospitality, @berrycollege.bsky.social!
A little photo dump from the Peace History Society Conference at Berry College. It was great to share some of our latest findings from recent research trips in Senegal, Tunisia, Kazakhstan, and India!

PSA: Before this "dislike" thing gets out of hand, because I've seen some very big accounts misinforming people, here's what it actually is.

It's a private option that lets you see less of topics you're not interested in on certain feeds. That's it.

It's not a downvote, thumbs down, etc.

Fantastic and Congratulations, Professor.
Lots to dig into here! My own piece is in this collection is called “(Mis)remembering Bandung at 70” and argues that today’s invocations of Bandung reveal more about the present than the past.
📣Out now: Bandung at 70. A joint project with Robert Bosch Stiftung, this new ePaper revisits the 1955 “Bandung Spirit” 70 years on. Can Global South & North renew multilateralism, defend international law & tackle crises from climate to digital futures? 👉Find out here: tinyurl.com/zyxbty3

Sanae Takaichi is verkozen tot leider van de Japanse Liberaal-Democratische Partij (LDP) en wordt waarschijnlijk de 1e vrouwelijke premier van Japan.🇯🇵

Haar conservatieve koers belooft echter eerder continuïteit dan verandering, aldus @anomav.bsky.social (@unileiden.bsky.social) bij @nieuws.nos.nl
LDP kiest 'Japanse Thatcher' als leider, en ze wordt waarschijnlijk ook premier
De nieuwe leider wordt gezien als zeer conservatief. Ze is bijvoorbeeld tegen het homohuwelijk, anti-migratie en voor investeren in defensie.
