Next week at the Free University of Berlin, I'll be presenting: "The Mutating Menace: The Global Politics of Narcotics Trafficking in Germany, 1880 to the Present" as part of the Global History Colloquium www.geschkult.fu-berlin.de/e/fmi/bereic...
Thank you so much for inviting me on the podcast to talk about my research and for all the great questions!! 🤩
Very excited that the The Routledge Handbook of Sexuality in East Central Europe has been just published! You'll find my chapter on Italian men, Western goods and transactional sex in 1960s Hungary chilling alongside some other excellent pieces in Section 6 🤩

Really enjoyed writing this review! Would recommend this book! Adelina Stefan aptly uses the lens of tourism to demonstrate the room for manoeuvre and agency that “ordinary citizens” had in their everyday lives under dictatorial regimes.
Can't wait to read this!!
My first peer reviewed article on has appeared alongside some very excellent articles in a special issue of Rethinking History. Many thanks to @npapadogian.bsky.social and Ulrike Schaper for their insights and support in the process!

Ahhh I love getting book post. This is special: volume 3 of Transnational Queer Histories has landed! In this instance: @annalisamartin.bsky.social and Sonja Dolinsek’s “Beruf Sexarbeit”, a collection of sources and documents from the German sex worker and rights activist Marc-of-Frankfurt!

It was a pleasure to talk to @priskakomaromi.bsky.social and learn about tourism aimed at Westerners that developed in socialist Hungary from the 1960s onwards, often marketed in a sexualized way
