Our workshop 'Dis:connections in Wartime' has started! Looking forward to the papers and discussions today and tomorrow

Lunch break at our 'Dis:connections in Wartime' workshop! We had two highly intriguing panels this morning on 'Colonial dis: connections?' and 'Family and migration'

It’s been a superb two workshop days! We had great papers and discussions, and everything seemed to fit so well together. It’s been really nice meeting you all (again) - a great thanks to all who participated and made this possible!

Used a Hamburg stopover today to finally go see the 'Benin Bronzes' exhibition at MARKK Museum, which I found quite impressive. Sad reason I was still able to do so is obviously that restitution has still not been completed

One of the things I never fail to notice when in Britain: the sheer amount of monuments that in one way or another refer to nineteenth-century colonial wars (these are from Glasgow and Inverness)

Longing for those days when archive visit for me actually meant several weeks of leafing through documents in an archive and taking notes, not a few days of frantically taking thousands of pictures to look through at a later stage...

Last stop on my archive itinerary: Paris, Service Historique de la Défense, Vincennes

Specialist German history question: anyone who has written more on (overseas) colonial antecedents of Germans in Ober Ost (WWI) & in Baltic Freikorps? Literature indulges in hints but never seems to go beyond the 1 reference to Rochus Schmidt in Ober Ost & his East Africa history

Nearly home after a nice 3 days in Amsterdam at the Duitsland Instituut conference ‘The global turn in German history: new developments – new challenges’. Thanks all for the interesting papers and discussions and a special thanks to the organisers and staff for making it so enjoyable!

Do all publishers send their proofs in August now, coupled with very short deadlines? I am supposed to be on holiday...

Sent the proofs of my book back to the publisher. Publication should now be in a couple months!

cambridge.org/core/books/col… My book THE COLONIAL WAY OF WAR will now come out in April 2025. Over on bsky I will try to share over the next weeks a number of images related to the book and its themes

Happy #EuropeDay from Latvia! Strong and resilient European Union that addresses multiple challenges is our common interest and shared responsibility! It is important to continue supporting Ukraine in its struggle for freedom and on its way to the European Union. 🇱🇻🇪🇺

Publication! My book The Colonial Way of War has now appeared with CUP. The book is the first comparative & transimperial study of the violence of colonial warfare around 1900, with extensive empirical base&case studies from British, German & Dutch Empire. shorturl.at/crWw2

It seems the day my book came out my LMU e-mail went down, so that all e-mails sent to me now mysteriously bounce back. If you contacted me in the last days, please DM me here or on other networks
