.@kcarterjackson is here to explore the #history of black #abolitionists! She challenges the “Great Man/Great Woman” narratives to showcase the multitude of approaches to securing freedom. The movement was black-led and black-organized, and not always nonviolent.
“Within white abolitionists, it was totally possible to see someone who was an abolitionist *and* a racist.” Jackson highlights the fundamental facet of black abolitionism is its simultaneous call for emancipation and true equality.
When the abolitionist movement solidified in the 1830s, it relied primarily on “moral suasion”, the attempt to persuade people that slavery was wrong via argument and moral appeal.

@sophiejrigney @elizabethmoya @makesmilk @babyfriendly Anthropologist here - I have written about changing ideas about #time and about the regulation of infants quite a bit. These are #culturalideologies that came about in late 19th-early 20th century in response to social changes 1/n
@sophiejrigney @elizabethmoya @makesmilk @babyfriendly the rise of industrial #capitalism changed labor practices and emphasized efficiency and predictability. The #clock was particularly important in this regard.
@sophiejrigney @elizabethmoya @makesmilk @babyfriendly There was a fundamental reworking of #time from a very different understanding - agricultural labor has a very different rhythm (EP Thompson famously wrote about this) jstor.org/stable/649749?…

1/ Long Reads Sunday #23. Mining death spirals, token burns, hedge fund shutdowns…As we settle into crypto winter, there is an uptick in explanatory narratives. What’s real and what’s just marketing? Let’s dig in - it’s long reads time.
2/ Let’s kick off with the bear thread of the week. @DoveyWan sums up just about every reason why the poor market might persist - from fallout from a poor Bitmain IPO performance to underwhelming project launches to a potential mining crisis.
3/ There was actually quite a bit of conversation about mining this week. @MartyBent kicked off a great conversation about Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustment - the counterweight to the death spiral narrative.

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.

This is a thread to share my experiences throughout my undergraduate (UG) degree in economics at IIUM. I am hoping that with this sharing, it may inspire some of you and giving insight on how I manage to go through 4 years degree with this result
Short description of my academic achievement; I was one of the Royal Education Award (REA) recipient on 33rd IIUM Convocation. I would say REA is the highest university awards during convocation. It needs an excellent academic performance as well as curriculum.
Okay, let's start! Here are some of my experiences/strategy but not limited to on how I manage to succeed in my undergraduate study:

Turning my Pecha Kucha talk from the BC GLAM Symposium into a twitter thread: 11 things to know when starting to think about GLAM projects involving Indigenous people. (GLAM = Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) #bcglam
No. 1 Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums have had a real impact on Indigenous lives. So, we, as information professionals, need to understand our own history & realize that at the same time as our professional practices…
...were being developed, the government & others were deliberately & actively trying to destroy Indigenous cultures & knowledge systems. GLAMs are not neutral & they were not developed for us. Now we all have to deal with that.
