How did people in the past really live? Get a glimpse of life during #communism at #SocialismRealised: socialismrealised.eu

Wonderful to see such a good crowd on the last day of #basees2022 for @ustr_cr’s own Václav Sixta’s presentation on museums as so-called “memory machines” #BASEESconference

What was it like living in an ethnic minority in #coldwar #Romania? 👇👇👇 coldwarconversations.com/episode230/ @romania @_EmergingEurope @HStudiesReview @SocialismR @CWRGPrague

A pleasure to have an attentive audience with witty questions. Thx #BASEESconference for making it happen this morning at our The Experience of State Socialism in the perspective of Education panel. Great contributions by @kellyhignett, @lani49, @SocialismR & alia!

If I have to wake up for a 9am panel, at least it’s to present on @SocialismR with my wonderful colleagues from @ustr_cr and to hear @kellyhignett discuss carceral landscapes from an educational perspective! #BASEESconference #basees2022

How to teach about the experience of state socialism? Thanks to the @SocialismR team for presenting and evaluating concrete teaching tools to increase students’ historical literacy at #basees2022 Check their fascinating website: socialismrealised.eu

Greetings from #basees2022 #BASEESconference! So wonderful to be back at an in-person conference and in such great company (with @kellyhignett on our panel!) Want to meet up? We’re here all weekend!

1/2 Feel welcomed to our Sat 9 am #basees2022 panel The experience of state socialism in the perspective of education. Featuring @SocialismR, @kellyhignett, with prof.Oates-Indruchova as a discussant (thx). Do not shy away due to the timing or the detached CBW location.

For now, we'll hold off on sharing our usual content, as it's not the time for lighthearted commentary about the CEE region and all of its idiosyncrasies. We'll revert to our core educational goal and share useful materials for educators that we come across. #StandWithUkraine

We also invite you to join a Euroclio session sharing experiences teaching Putin's invasion of Ukraine, on Thursday, March 3, at 18:00 CET. Register on this page: euroclio.eu/event/sharing-…

We fully stand behind and echo the sentiments of our colleagues at Euroclio in their statement against the abuse of history and in support of the Ukrainian people 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 euroclio.eu/2022/02/27/sta…

The communist secret police forces from across the #Easternbloc command an extraordinary amount of the public imagination about the period. Here's a deep dive into them: kafkadesk.org/2020/01/15/int…

A fascinating — if tough — story, and a reminder that "history" isn't always that far away from us. english.radio.cz/czechoslovak-g…

NEW EPISODE with journalist and travel writer Mark Baker who talks about his personal journey and epic adventures in Prague during a time of transformation at the end of the Cold War and after. Take a listen! slavxradio.com/prague @earlportion @MSimanovskyy @markbakerprague

The second panel is about “Experiences of State Socialism in the Perspective of Education” where I’ll be presenting with @ripka_v and @lani49 from @SocialismR, Alžbeta Śnieżko, Václav Sixta and our discussant @JohannaMellis #BASEES2022

Prague's Náměstí Republiky in 1905. In some ways not that different!

The story of Menzel’s 🇨🇿 classic Larks on a String: commissioned in 1968, banned in 1969 — and named Best Film at the Berlinale more than two decades later. #Czechfilm english.radio.cz/1990-winner-19…

Little-known Czech photographer Premysel Koblic’s wonderfully atmospheric image ‘View of a Village from Above’ ticks all the boxes for me (1930)

Prague Metro station guard. No idea what year this system ended.

Let's take #ValentinesDay2022 as an opportunity to think about how politics might complicate friendship. #MondayMaterial socialismrealised.eu/catalogue/a-de…
