I read some of the most exciting work in human rights history from the past five years, summarized, and analyzed it in a 14-page historiographical review. It’s available open access and it’s among the most downloaded articles at CEH. Please share widely!

Join me in Berlin on Wednesday November 5 at 6PM for a book talk on Capitalism: A Global History at Freie Universität Berlin | Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut (Raum A 127)
A great article against AI slop and higher ed’s complicity: “History shows us that the right to literacy came at a heavy cost ... Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so.”

“The idea that a machine, an artificial intelligence, non-human, can do history is truly absurd.” Excellent short essay by Andrés Gattinoni exposing the fallacies in claims by the AI hype-cycle (looking at you Microsoft!) that we are to be replaced by their shoddy products. nuso.org/articulo/his...
Today is a big day for me: After years of work in dusty archives around the world and unending hours on the computer, Capitalism: A Global History is out. And the book just received the best possible birthday gift:It became one of the NYT's 100 notable books of 2025.
