A major Swiss newspaper titles excitedly "Trade prevents wars"!
But the cited research (by economists) deals *only* with the impact of trade on canals and straits. No mention of the "empirical data" the claim is based on. Historians, discuss...

@NZZaS
Die Globalisierung der Wirtschaft hat ein Imageproblem. Kritiker machen die Integration der Weltwirtschaft für zwischenstaatliche Konflikte und für Bürgerkriege verantwortlich. Doch ist diese Kritik wirklich berechtigt?

Great article - shows how difficult it is to get innovative basic research funded if it does not lead directly to pharma-profits ("no therapeutic value").
And shows how screwed up the academic system is.
Thanks, Dr. Kariko.

It's a good thing that @swisspeace contributes to including the diasporas in #peace processes for #Colombia.
They need those voices, too, in the @ComisionVerdadC .

Premise of the conference : "Only few" women historians do global history. Please discuss. #womenalsoknowhistory

Love this vintage, Cold War, Sputnik-themed fabric on sale in Tulsa.... (don't rush, it's been sold already).

This French habit of doing 3h meetings without a single break is just killing me.... !!! If you get up, you're certain to miss the juicy part of the discussion.

There is much to be said for #transparency...
very honest take on why academics organize #conferences.
I would argue that this is a good thing - what do you think?

So Sidney Mintz criticizes universities for not training professors to #teach. UK profs are outraged ("we are trained! we have a diploma!"). Silence from the rest of Europe. I think it's not a "guilty" silence, but rather a "why should we care" shrug.
#Teaching
“University professors are the only professionals who receive little or no formal training in their primary responsibility – teaching... As a result, most college instructors lack a serious understanding of effective teaching practices.” timeshighereducation.com/blo…

Working on a "history of #development" chapter, I came across this picture of #Foucault's 1983 seminar at Berkeley, which greatly influenced the thinking of #ArturoEscobar (third from the right).
What do you see here?
