Quite a jolt on the BGS Stoke seismogram. North Staffordshire Earthquake.

Oh God, it's so close, don't jinx it! (But I'm excited to see all of you)

Can’t wait to speak about how humans are going to eat each other until you’re all extinct. Exciting times 😊

Wonderful to find good stuff in #OpenAccess (and easy to access, not always the case...): Empire and Catastrophe: Decolonization and Environmental Disaster in North Africa and Mediterranean France since 1954 directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.… #historicaldisasters #colonialhistory #envhis

I realize that a number 1 ranking as a new release in an Amazon subcategory might only represent a sale of like 30 books, but still think I'm going to get this tattooed on my face

We are proud to announce a new special issue: Vocabularies of Travel and Tourism in the "Holy Lands," 1870–1950. Over the next few weeks, we'll publish articles considering the movement of tourists into and out of Palestine in the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries.

To kick off this collection, guest editors @DrTermagant, Karène Sanchez Summerer, and Sary Zananiri discuss how this issue's articles challenge and contribute to the study of tourism and travel in Palestine during this period. Read the editorial here: doi.org/10.24847/v10i2…

The ongoing destruction of Cairo's physical heritage is appalling in the abstract, but there is nothing abstract about its effect on the people whose lives and histories are entwined with the places that are being demolished.

New out from my The Leverhulme Trust-funded project, in a special issue of Mashriq & Mahjar co-edited with Karène Sanchez Summerer and Sary Zananiri: "'Indian Lady Tourists Killed at Jericho': Tourism, Pilgrimage and South-South relations in Interwar Palestine" lebanesestudies.ojs.chass.ncsu.edu/index.php/mash…
