Det næste skridt i vores projekt "Support Your Local Library" er et kreativt familieværksted. Hvis du har børn der elsker at være på biblioteket, så mød op Lørdag d 7 Marts - det bliver sjovt og der er snacks!
De kort der bliver tegnet, kommer med i vores levende arkiv om Blågården Bibliotek
Det er i hvert fald meningen man kan downloade og printe selv til sit Bib.
Plakatudstillingen er oppe og postkortene ligger klar - i morgen kan du høre mit oplæg "Fra Belfast til Blågården" og diskutere lokalbiblioteker som fredsskabende infrastruktur. Kom og tag en ven med!
Biblioteker er all the rage.

På Onsdag holder jeg i oplæg på Blågårds Bibliotek om hvilken rolle biblioteker spiller i krig og fred. Det er en forlængelse af min forskning om lokal fredsopbygning i Belfast og diskuterer biblioteker som en afgørende social infrastruktur alle steder. Kom! fb.me/e/9dkjFn5Gv
Tak - og Ja! sådan havde jeg det med Iran-Irak krigen.
Der er aldrig tid nok. Selv når man starter i begyndelsen af det 20. Århundrede. Men til sidst fandt vi ud af at vi begge kom fra Farum (off air) radio4.dk/podcasts/eur...
I am happy to find out that it was all Marc Anthony's doing.
The weather chat of our age?
@mortensode.bsky.social har skrevet den mest vidunderlige beskrivelse af at gå til dans. Hvem får ikke lyst til at gøre det samme når de læser hvilken effekt det har på hans liv?https://www.information.dk/moti/2026/01/laege-morten-sodemann-danser-rumba-tango-pjat-danse
Here are all my book recommendations for 2025, carefully collected in one handy to read list. www.jancarson.co.uk/blog/some-books-i-enjoyed-in-2025
Inspired by Ann Rigney’s work on Remembering Activism, I put the “Internationalism Calendar” on my Christmas wish list. January is called ‘seeds of hope’ and details the story of protests against UK weapon production for Indonesia in the context of the struggle for independence in East Timor.
I lige måde!
Ja, men mangler stadig egentlig udveksling.
Tusind tak! Jeg har egentlig masser af følgere - og følger en masse, men der mangler egentlig udveksling. Glæder mig til at prøve dine råd.
Hvis 2026 skal være året hvor jeg for alvor begynder at bruge Bluesky, så skal jeg altså have interaktioner med nogle flere mennesker - hvem har knækket koden til hvordan man laver opslag med god trækkraft? #bluesky #whattodo #blueskythinking
One of these PhDs is geared towards Cultural Memory Studies - I must have a ton of former students who might consider applying?! (Let me know if you need a recommendation) @memstudiesassoc.bsky.social @slowmemo.bsky.social "memorystudies lnkd.in/ejSDwmhJ
New short research article out in Urban Matters. It is a piece on thick mapping in North Belfast, drawing on ongoing research at the Oldpark Carnegie Library and local memories of regeneration. @slowmemo.bsky.social @memstudiesassoc.bsky.social

Bless her.
To engage your mind, you sometimes have to engage your body! Slow Memory COST Action members have developed two walking journals for Prague, Czech Republic, and Prishtina, Kosovo, that help us think through the city, spatial relations, emotion and memory.
Fra Belfast til Blågården! - Glæder mig helt vildt til samarbejdet med Emergency Architecture og Nørrebros biblioteker i formidlingen af min forskning om biblioteker som kritisk social infrastruktur i konflikt og fred. Tak til @carlsbergfondet.dk for støtten! www.carlsbergfondet.dk/en/what-we-h...
The project to bring the Oldpark Library back to life is so intriguing, not least from a peacebuilding perspective. Across the Narrow Sea – early reflections by Chair of Trustees Brian J. Cavanagh on our #BackToLife project carnegieoldpark.org/2025/11/03/a...
50 years ago what became the worst feud between the Official and Provisional IRA's began in Belfast. Anthony McIntyre's article, written in 2002, is one of the best accounts of this tragic period.

I am finding it hard to commit to a real change…
This! I bought a refurbished 13 mini last year (to replace my ancient SE, which I didn't want to give up precisely because of the size).
In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

A superb “Peter Mair Lecture” by @caterinafr.bsky.social at the @psaireland.bsky.social just now presenting her path-breaking work on the continuing rise of the far right. As she noted, Mair’s “void” rather unfortunately is being filled
