"In our view as cultural anthropologists, the disputed sentence is true as #historians define facts – tiny nuggets of truth one can find in archives, artifacts & diaries"
This caricature is so hard to eradicate. Luckily I am teaching new students otherwise from Day 1
The possibly by far most unexpected find in my search for new names to add to our list of new articles for the #Bywgraffiadur is probably the Reverend Peter Jones, or by his birth name KahkewAquonaby. He was born in 1831 to a Mississauga Ojibwe woman and a Welsh father. Following his conversion to Methodism, he became a missionary, preaching in Ojibwe and English.
I couldn't agree more with all your points. I am still weaning myself off of the #deadbirdsite but finding the community here is growing. It's slow growth but hopefully we can convince more to join us in this kinder social media.
Historians! Do you know of grants/fellowships available for History PhD students in their "writing-up" year? These need not be UK based, but available to PhD students based in the UK (willing to move). I'm starting my third year this autumn but I'm thinking ahead for my final year. Any recommendations or help is greatly appreciated!
