Me, most of the time!
Great scholars and research projects in this issue!
Book cover for Marianne Kamp's "Collectivization Generation: Oral Histories of a Social Revolution in Uzbekistan." The cover features the title in white text, Kamp's name in yellow text, and a purple-to-red gradient from the upper right to the lower left. A block-printed design in the middle of the cover depicts a man wearing a do'ppi and chopon. He is kneeling in a field, next to an upright hoe, and planting a seedling.
Marianne Kamp was awarded a CESS Book Award for "Collectivization Generation: Oral Histories of a Social Revolution in Uzbekistan."
Dr. Kamp spoke about the recent book in an interview with Nicholas Seay, graduate student board member of CESS.

Join us in Leeds!
They got me too! Feels slower, looks worse, key app icons now unrecognizableβ¦ whatβs not to love?!
Thank you! And Iβd be happy to come over to Manchester some time!
Youβre still thinking too narrowly in terms of batch production. I imagine a future in which the tawdry details of human life are but a brief instant in a Great Unbroken Chain of Continuous Laundering.
I did a terrible job announcing this in the rush to arrange everything, but I have started a new role as a Research Fellow in Global Health History at the University of Leeds!
Our project (PI: Robert Hornsby) will study the USSR's role in the WHO and global health, 1957-1991. Lots more to come!
This is all so beautifully stated. Exactly this!
There are so many layers here, where to even begin?!
May the temperature and humidity break in your favour!
Gorgeous!
Done!

We thank you for your continued support!
With a hat tip to @ukrarthistory.bsky.social, who posted about it over on Twitter, I'll be very excited to check out this new exhibition on Tatlin as a Ukrainian artist! If you are (or will be) in NYC, check it out at the Ukrainian Museum until April 27!

Thank you so much for all this advice! Especially about preservation, always a sticking point for digital resources from what I've experienced!
I think if you can fit the content into that sort of framework, it makes sense. In my experience, asynchronous lessons work best when combining short videos with other activities!
Thank you for this! Already found some ideas by hunting through this hashtag!
This is great, thank you so much for sharing! Amazing examples of the kind of thing I'm hoping to do!
Digital historians! I know some of you are doing amazing work with GIS, and I was wondering: could you share your favorite guides, courses, and tools for this work? And for data generation, management, and use in general? #skystorians #academicsky
If it isn't real yet, I'm sure some organization somewhere is working hard to make it a reality!
Ouch! Don't encounter any problems, and if you do, make sure they are not in any way atypical! Things must break down in an orderly way, so they fit within the framework of the forms and the helpline structures!
And, it goes without saying, I have not gotten an answer to my question!
Not an earth-shattering point, but it occurs to me that the entire infrastructure of robo-service is optimized to make sure only *my* time is wasted. I have a question. 2 emails and 1 phone call later, I have gotten a robo-reply and a robo-phone message. I have not managed to trouble a single human.
How did I not know that Eastview has a full open-access database of the journal Sovetskoe Zdravookhranenie (1942-1992)?! Check it out: on-demand.eastview.com/browse/publi...
#aseees people: @labendz.bsky.social Jacob Labendz and I are looking to put together a panel on Postwar state security in a global perspective, with or without Jews as the focus. Please send either of us a message if you are interested!
If it's any consolation, your book with Oxana Shevel is easily the clearest, most even-handed, and most convincing explainer I've ever read on it! I think it changed the thinking of some of my students last year!
Great to see the volume is out in ebook form, and in open access! Full of wonderful contributions! Check out my chapter on Soviet participation in the "wider networks" of WHO malariology if you want to know how Soviet specialists both reinforced and transcended the boundaries of the Cold War!
I may!
