Just a few hours in the south of Germany and I already feel how much warmer people are in social settings. Nothing like a random compliment from a middle aged Bavarian man who has had a few beers.
How should scholars engage with oral sources? In this article I reflect on the social conventions addressed by Yoruba ìtàn (narrative histories) to contextualise the information they provide on urban life and gender relations in the eighteenth century.

As conference season rolls in, are you thinking of writing up your presentation as an article? The @africajacs editors would love to hear from you. Here are the journal's aims and scope, and a link to the submission page:
I am really pleased that my article on marriage in eighteenth-century West Africa has now been published. It was a labour of love!
The article is Open Access: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Very informative visit to @unibirmingham & discussion with students. Congratulations on the 125th anniversary.
Many ties to 🇩🇪, like Goethe University Frankfurt, but also through Horizon Europe. Innovative work at @TyseleyEnergy. Thanks to Pro Vice Chancellor Robin Mason & team.

A woman was assaulted.
She spoke up.
Her abuser presided over her case.
She was punished instead.
If this does not make you sick, then you are part of the problem.

The COUNTDOWN has begun. Please get ready and let's meet out for a peaceful protest. Senator Natasha has the right to a fair hearing and also has the right to be given all her Senate privileges. 😊😊🙏🏾

#Thiaroye44 In December 1944 in #Senegal, the French army opened fire on African soldiers who were simply demanding their pay. 80 years later, the number of victims and their burial site remain unknown. #France continues to obstruct the truth. Here’s why.
