British seafood owes so much of its production to low-wage foreign workers, who generally aren't allowed to be in the country themselves. Our Journalismfund Europe investigation is online today: tinyurl.com/yr3dsjnc Geographical Graphic: Saqib Mohammad

dealing with an Oxford college for the first time in many years, and was reminded that there is a position of the 'Admiral of the Fleet'....for what amounts to 3 punts and change.

academics will write endlessly about the importance of place, belonging to place, attachments to place, then expect early-career scholars to uncomplainingly pack a bag, abandon those who rely on them, & seek employment across the continent, across the world, on the moon, on mars

I am really, truly happy to announce that 'Balkan Cyberia' has been named the winner of the Barbara Jelavich Book Prize, and co-winner of the Marshall Shulman Prize, both awarded by ASEEES. Over the moon.

just arrived in the post: the new 'Everyday Postsocialism in Eastern Europe', put together by the wonderful Jill Massino and Markus Wien. Tons of great essays - on migrants, women, workers, minorities, kids; and on some weird historians, by yours truly.

Assigned Eliade and Cioran in the class week on Eastern Euro fascism. Students concluded they are the most annoying proto-emo boys ever, running on vibes because they don't want to worry about things like policy, and that I should give them their time back.
