I'm in the #Humanities Commons instance, and we have free profiles like https://hcommons.org/members/stevemccartyinjapan that include a link to the old blue bird of Twitter, and members are increasingly leaving, so our admins at @hello might want to reconsider having that item in the next version of profiles.
This article on the connections that can be made between generative AI and Jewish exegesis published @TheConversationUS blew my mind this morning. 😇 💩 !

Today I can say that I was wrong.

PRÁTICAS DA HISTÓRIA "is an online academic journal published at the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities (NOVA FCSH) with the support of the IHC – Institute of Contemporary History and of CHAM – Centre for the Humanities. The main aim of the journal is the promotion of discussions on historical theory, historiography and the uses of the past".
An interesting journal. The theme of the last two issues (2022 and 2023) is "Political Uses of the Past: Public Memory of Slavery and Colonialism".
Most of the articles have been published in English, but some have also been published in Portuguese or Spanish.
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!
