Suzanne Marie (Segalini) Litrel, Ph.D.

Two-year postdoc for someone with fieldwork experience on migration issues in Latin America w a great Tufts professor I just got to meet, Katrina Burgess spread the word--I bet she would be great to work with @FletcherSchool apply.interfolio.com/157756

About 10 days until the final, formatted ms goes in for production. Fretting plenty over details. Which means: time to back off, stretch, get outside but not before sharing my advance thanks to so so many folks who have helped along the way! #grateful

@brfmiranda Espero que sim! Seu livro é um tesouro!

...fragmentadas e dispersas em arquivos numa época quase sem acesso digital aos acervos e sem inteligência artificial para agilizar a pesquisa. A tese, que virou livro em 2014, merece uma 2ª edição. Sempre penso em fazê-la e adicionar mais alguma coisa.

09 de novembro. 13 anos atrás eu defendia minha tese de doutorado, “Gente de guerra”. Uma tese inteira dedicada a estudar a vida dos soldados da Companhia das Índias Ocidentais recrutados para o Brasil.

The reviewer noted that "Nieuw Holland"/"New Holland"/ Nova Holanda as an official term for the fleeting colony, is wholly fabricated by historians. Can this be true? TIA!

Well alrighty! Surfacing to share work on Dutch Brazil has been approved for production, and I'm to get the final formatted ms in next. One technical q. raised by an anon reviewer has me and others stumped--I can easily sidestep it, not crucial, but want to dig in. (See below)

@historyherway Just finished Barbara Kingsolver's novel Flight Behavior-- on love, life, family, and climate change (by way of Monarch butterflies). Brilliant. For historical fiction, heart-stoppingly gorgeous The Sun Walks Down (Fiona McFarlane) deepened my understanding of late 19th Australia

What are you reading right now? I’m looking for a new book!

The short-term @JCBLibrary fellowship made all the difference in my work. (Stay tuned...excited to share more in 2025!) Time, access, camaraderie ... so much treasure. Apply!
