After nearly a year's worth of work, I'm pleased to announce the release of this report on the various audiences who are assumed to benefit from the dozens of digital transformations projects funded through the European initiative CHANSE, Collaboration of Humanities and Social Sciences in Europe. ⭐ The report analyses the results of 1700+ responses to questions about CHANSE Transformations audiences and associated knowledge exchange activities for those audiences. ⭐ We consider what knowledge exchange means to different people, and trends and omissions in understandings of audiences (e.g., the languages they speak, their perceived degrees of confidence with digital technologies, the contexts in which they work with CHANSE projects, etc). ⭐ We reflect on opportunities to connect projects together and deepen approaches to audience engagement. ⭐ We also discuss gaps which may threaten the impact of existing knowledge exchange plans in CHANSE projects, and which limit potential positive outcomes. ⭐ We conclude with specific measures that CHANSE teams can take in supporting audiences and growing knowledge exchange. ⭐ Importantly, we also reflect on the wider systemic issues that hamper knowledge exchange and demand a concerted response from funders and organisations governing European research and development. Among other points, we recommend, ➡ nurturing knowledge exchange advocates at the senior levels of project teams ➡ supporting future digital transformations initiatives in innovating with knowledge exchange itself based on the unique affordances of the digital ➡ offering guidance on climate-sensitive approaches to knowledge exchange (KE) – and understanding of the climate implications of different KE activities – to allow projects to develop more environmentally-conscious knowledge exchange opportunities ➡ pursuit of a deeper understanding of the socio-economic, institutional, and national research and development cultures which shape attitudes towards knowledge exchange, in order to inform more nuanced approaches in the future Thanks to the 100s of CHANSE project team members who’ve liaised with us, as well as to our funders ESRC: Economic and Social Research Council and those overseeing our research, including Dr Jamie Davies, Monika Huńka and Malwina Gębalska. This report is a collaborative output made possible by the many contributions of Dr. Anna Simandiraki-Grimshaw, Ayesha Purcell, Blen Taye G., Jemima Dunnett, and Kit Ackland.

NEW PUBLICATION: Congratulations to JPH Board member Nicholas Hoare, for his published collaborative chapter with Katerina Teaiwa and Talei Luscia Mangioni, 'Finding Australia's 'Missing' Pacific' women'. PUBLISHER'S ABSTRACT: 'This book explores the history, practice, and possibilities of writing about the lives of First Nations’ peoples in Australia as well as Aotearoa New Zealand, North America, and the Pacific. This interdisciplinary collection recognises the limitations of Western biographical conventions for writing Indigenous long‑ and short‑form biographies. Through a series of diverse life stories of both historical and contemporary First Nations figures, this book investigates innovative ways to ameliorate the challenges we face in recovering the stories of Indigenous people and reimagining their lives in productive new ways. Many of the chapters in this collection are deeply reflective, aiming not just to relate the life story of an individual but also to reflect on the archival, intellectual, and emotional journeys that biographers undertake in researching Indigenous biography. This volume will be of value to scholars and students interested in Indigenous Studies, biography, history, literature, creative writing, archaeology, and colonial and postcolonial studies.' Source:

I am now sitting on the train back to Swansea after having attended the History and Archives in Practice: Historical Legacies conference hosted at Cardiff University (in collaboration with the Royal Historical Society, Institute of Historical Research, and The National Archives, UK. The last few weeks have been intense with four papers delivered: 1. "The Story of the Norwegian Church in Glamorgan" on Wednesday 21st February at the Glamorgan Archives (the manuscript of which I am aiming to publish, with some alterations of course) 2. "Using the Myths of the Past to Forge Identity in the (Ancient) Present" on Tuesday, 27th February, at the Norwegian Institute in Athens. 3. "Wikipedia and Local History: Researching and Documenting Material and Immaterial Heritage in the Tegea Region" as a part of the promotion of the ROADWIKI Tegea project alongside project partners from the Norwegian Institute in Athens, Wikipedia Schools Association Greece and Time Heritage. 4. "The Collections of the Norwegian Church Arts Centre: Community and the Legacy of Norwegian Cultural Heritage in Cardiff Bay" at today's conference. Exhausting, but it has been a good way of networking and meeting colleagues, researchers, and others with an interest in ancient history, classics, Norwegian history in Wales, archival research, and heritage. Oh, and on top of it, I have had positive feedback on my first article submitted to an academic journal! #Heritage #Outreach #PublicSpeaking #SharingResearch #History #DigitalHumanities #DigitalHeritage #Classics #ancienthistory

Don't miss the next Royal Australian Historical Society's Special Lecture on Subjects of Time: Australian lives at the fin de siècle. The fin de siècle (c.1890–1914) reflected a tension between the movement towards the future and an enervating stasis: fears of degeneration contested with the promise of progress. Many of the biographical subjects of The Fin de Siècle Imagination in Australia – including feminist Vida Goldstein, writer Henry Lawson, and Aboriginal activist David Unaipon – seemed gripped by a sense of urgency in pursuit of their aims, as the possibilities of profound change seemed imminently within reach. The ideas available at the fin de siècle provided the imaginative resources for intensifying this search: first wave feminism and the New Woman, the emergence of radical politics and anarchism; the exploration of Symbolism and alternative spirituality. The Fin de Siècle Imagination in Australia explores the patterns of self-creation that emerged from these individuals’ experience, and their need to assert an identity at a moment of profound change in Australian society. Mark Hearn is a senior lecturer in the Department of History and Archaeology, Macquarie University. His research focuses on the history, historiography, and historical theory of the fin de siècle, and the history of ideas and governance in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is the author of The Fin de Siècle Imagination in Australia, 1890–1914 (London: Bloomsbury 2022).

The International Institute of Central Asian Studies (IICAS) presents a collective monograph “The Mausoleum of Jochi Khan: The History of Research”, written by an international team of authors including E.R. Usmanova, K.Z. Uskenbay, M.B. Kozha, I.P. Panyushkina. The monograph presents a comprehensive analysis of the study of the Jochi Khan mausoleum (Ulytau region, Republic of Kazakhstan) of the Golden Horde era. The publication consists of four chapters and six appendices. The book analyzes the biography of Jochi, based on resources and modern historiography, shows his role and place as a military leader in the Mongol Empire, examines issues related to the history of the discovery and dating of the mausoleum of Jochi Khan, with its archaeological and historical-architectural study, stages of restoration; and provides information about the mausoleum of Jochi Khan from late medieval Muslim writings and Russian sources of the 18th - 20th (first quarter) centuries. Moreover, based on the methods of semiotic analysis, an interpretation of the burial goods from archaeological excavations of the mausoleum burials is proposed, and ritual and symbolic characteristics are given. One of the chapters is devoted to the chronology of the mausoleum and the formation of the historical and cultural significance of the Jochi Khan mausoleum in the history of the Jochi Ulus. The publication is enriched with illustrative materials and is intended for historians, social scientists and anyone interested in the culture and historical past of Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
