Final class teaching global history of human rights since 1750 with reading from @davidrieff foreignpolicy.com/2018/04/09/the…
@davidrieff I posted the whole course syllabus with commentary to my blog back at the start of the semester historyned.blog/2018/12/10/glo…
Interesting feedback from students on human rights history course: they would have wanted more readings on perspectives from Africa, Asia and from Islamic thinkers, as well as work about indigenous activism, and more specifically about Apartheid.
No specifics about what they didn't like, but Joan Scott on Olympe de Gouges was popular

Rather than Holocaust denial, this is just straight up apologia for Nazi genocide.
And in addition to tacitly endorsing the murder of German Jews, this also says the murder of Sinti and Roma, homosexuals, the disabled, socialists, communists and the sterilization of the Afrodeutsch within Germany's borders was just fine.
Periodically I despair that these malicious idiots have more funding to spread this crap than most professional historians.

Fresh flowers at the monument to Dr. Theodor Neubauer at the University of Erfurt. Neubauer was murdered by the Nazis 74 years ago yesterday.
The University of Erfurt is on site of the GDR era Pädagogische Hochschule „Dr. Theodor Neubauer“ Erfurt/Mühlhausen which was named after the Communist Party member from 1969 onwards. Neubauer was repeatedly arrested by the Nazis and executed in 1945.
Theodor Neubauer was held up as a hero of the anti-fascist resistance in East Germany - along with the Hochschule in Erfurt, numerous streets across the GDR were renamed after him.

Chris Gueffroy is often referred to as the last victim of the Berlin Wall, but he was actually the last person shot to death while crossing. Why does this distinction matter...dw.com/en/remembering…
The number of victims of the Berlin Wall varies between 80 and 140 depending on how you understand what the Wall was and how it led to death. At the low end of the count is the definition based on those deliberately killed while trying to cross the border
An alternative reading of the Berlin Wall is to count all of those who died due to the existence of the Wall as a militarized border: this includes those killed who were not trying to cross the border, those who died as the result of accidents caused by the Wall's existence

59) So even though Huxley said what was quoted above in 58), here is what his website says about his writings and beliefs: "For sure, Huxley was writing (in his book- Brave New World) a satirical piece of fiction, not scientific prophecy."
60) "Yet the knee-jerk response of "It's Brave New World!" to any blueprint for chemically-driven happiness has delayed research into paradise-engineering for all sentient life." Do you realize what they are saying here?
61) His own website is stating that the response to Huxley's book Brave New World, has delayed research into 'paradise-engineering'. They are confirming the existence of 'Paradise-engineering' and saying that everyone pointing out Huxley's intention's, has delayed progress.

2018: My Year of Reading. A thread that follows my reading journey from January to December. Every book I've read with a 280 character review. Tagged a few folks who influence the shape of my literary life 📚 #THEBOOKCHAT #DisruptTexts #TeachLivingPoets 📚
1. Never Let Me Go; Kazuo Ishiguro: A supremely crafted narrative begins unassumingly, but quickly reveals a different notion of childhood innocence and coming of age. The conversational tone fooled me into thinking I was walking into a world I understood. Nobel worthy.
2. We Should All Be Feminists; Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: As an author who breathes eloquence, Adichie doesn't disappoint. This short book/long essay is insightful and logical and human. If we want to raise boys without the toxic masculinity, this is on the required reading list.

RELEASE: FBI just sent me ~29,000 pages from their file on President Reagan and his time as an FBI informant – and lots more muckrock.com/foi/united-sta… #FOIA
For comparison, this is over 10x more than what the FBI posted to their website.
