I only met Tom Garvin a few times, but I read & engaged him almost constantly over the decades. A great loss.

Important reminder of how ‘Rhodes Must Fall’—itself a transnational call with different though related inflections and asks in South Africa from those in the UK—played a role in the development of the present culture war over legacies Br colonialism. 🧵from @aljhlester
Vitally important discussion of social forgetting during the present political season, but also generally
“there is plenty of social forgetting generated in regards to Trump’s presidential term, in particular the mismanagement of the Covid-19 pandemic. It could be argued that such forgetting is typical of post-pandemic societies.” Guy Beiner @MotherJones

An excellent discussion with @MaryCMurphy about her important new position @BostonCollege and about how she and others grapple with North/South, Irish/UK, and Irish/EU relations. Well worth a read.
Warmest thanks to @freyamcc @IrishTimes for giving me the opportunity to talk about my new role here @BostonCollege, and in particular, my ambitions for Boston College's Irish Institute.

Look carefully and consider how one pronounces this vital word. My people were from a deep green-blue zone and moved to another part of the globe, and when I heard a red-zoner for the first time, I had to ask what they meant. I recognize both now, but my heart is still blue.
