For people who've followed me today: hello! I teach and research refugee history. I'm always happy to bring a historical perspective to public discussions of refugee issues—contact me on here or at my work email (I'm easy to google).

Congratulations to our History graduate Ellie Smith whose post 'Clothing a camp' is now available on RefugeeHistory.org It is based on research Ellie did with Dr Ben White last summer, and was funded by a @UofGArtsHums undergraduate internship @UofGCareers @RefugeeHistory

(For that matter, I'd be interested to know if any Black historians other than Hakim Adi have ever been shortlisted. The Past Winners pages include full shortlists as far back as 2017 and I'm pretty sure no other Black scholars appear.)
