Postcolonial approaches can contribute to a better understanding of Medieval and Early Modern societies and state-building - and they can help scholars to decenter their own positionality, argues Nissaf Sghaïer. #ConferenceHowtoDecolonizePoliticalHistory

Organizing a conference on "How to decolonize political history" can have serious consequences, not only for one's research, but also for one's social life (and for the relation between both). Very engaging keynote lecture by Adriana Salay. @associationpolhist.bsky.social @uantwerppohis.bsky.social

Probably, it was inertia rather than nostalgia that kept this hammer and sickle on the fronton of the Russian embassy in Helsinki. But the image does seem to tell something about the imperial ambitions that the current-day Russian regime shares with the Soviet Union.
