Videos by young Ukrainians inside bomb shelters represent some of the most personal glimpses to date of teenage life inside a war zone. ow.ly/s2U050IRFp5

What did Americans think when consumer capitalism *really* put “nuclear” back into “nuclear family”? Read tombishop89 on how a #Sixties sales boom in home fallout shelters exposed the limits of popular support for #ColdWar foreign policy. #USHistory doi.org/10.1017/mah.20…

Incredibly sad as we face 6 more redundancies in History at UoLincoln on top of the loss of 3 valued colleagues (via voluntary severance). We've always punched above our weight in terms of research + teaching and this is such a sad comment on all of that work and UK HE overall.

Today is publication day for my first book, Radical Volunteers! Many thanks to Nate Holly and @UGAPress for believing in the project. In light of recent protests, it’s more important than ever to bring some historical context to student activism.
