I wrote something about Fratelli d’Italia’s memory politics and its efforts to reframe the way Italy remembers its experience of fascism (with a bit of Matteotti memory thrown in for good measure) theconversation.com/contested-memo… via The Conversation

Have any fellow historians done a creative writing workshop/ course they could recommend? Looking for anything that can help with writing about emotions in an ethical and engaging way!

Great to hear Beth Wilson speaking on the testimony of the formerly enslaved and how respondents composed aspects of their lives through the lens of emotion. Such an interesting new avenue in slavery studies and one to watch closely. University of Reading History
