Totalmente de acuerdo, gracias @pablomolejon por estas reflexiones tan importantes
Sobre las FPU 2025.
Resultados que vuelven a poner de manifiesto las enormes carencias y algunos de los problemas de fondo de la Academia española.
Un par de reflexiones (y propuestas) de parte de alguien que, vaya por delante, ni ha pedido la FPU ni la pedirá nunca.

Thank you @tomaashby for visualizing this whole special issue and for being such a wonderful editor and curator for this, and for shepherding us through to publication. I really enjoyed working with you !
I am delighted that an issue I edited on @ChloeIreton's "Slavery and Freedom in Black Thought in the Early Spanish Atlantic" is now online @Global_IH. Reading this pioneering work and editing these thoughtful papers was valuable, revelatory, and provoking. tandfonline.com/journals/rgi…

It's the Hobsbawm Memorial Lecture on Thursday, and I am still putting in some finishing touches...
Just to clarify that tickets are still available even though the landing page says you will join the waitlist - but I'm told that tickets will be released if you sign up there.

Pues llegó la próxima lectura! Un trabajo que promete mucho, sobre la mercantilización de los cuerpos de los esclavizados en los siglos XVI y XVII en la América hispana. Libro que promete ser tan innovador como importante.

Two weeks until the Hobsbawm Memorial Lecture it's my honour to be giving on June 18th at @BirkbeckUoL
A one-line summary: "All the reasons we’re in this mess, and the poverty of the ideas we have to get out of it."
Hard to answer in 50 minutes but will try. Link in reply.
This was a dreamy opportunity to engage w/ incredible scholars Pedro Cardim, Adriana Chira, Nelson Fernando González Martínez, Karen Graubart, Lisa Kattenberg, & Clifton Sorrell III & their rich & incisive responses. Thank you to @tomaashby for curating: tandfonline.com/journals/rgi…

Todas las discusiones sobre este tema en twitter se resumen en esto:
+ la esclavitud indígena estaba prohibida.
- no lo estaba, mira esta licencia para esclavizar a X grupo indígena.
+ bueno pero esos eran unos salvajes.
- y? Eran indígenas igual.
+ …. por qué odiáis a España?!

En estos días se contempla, en todo su esplendor, el resultado de prácticamente eliminar de la enseñanza obligatoria la historia de América. Y de tenerla marginada en la educación superior. Y cuánto experto en medios, redes sociales y clase política. Delirante.

Gran trabajo sobre la desregulación de la esclavitud en las Américas a fines del XVIII en "The Americas". De @Belmonteenredes y Borucki.
