I do not understand the Mastadoon yet, but I'm here, and it seems like folks are doing #introductions? I'm a #historian of modern #southasia working at the intersections of #labourhistory #historyofscience and #islamicstudies .
My book project is study of Muslim artisan communities in late nineteenth and early twentieth century north #India, focused on #artisan assertions of religious traditions for their trades and technologies in the context of colonial capitalism.
I hold a #PhD in history from #IndianaUniversity, am currently a #postdoc at #Princeton Society of Fellows, and from Jan. 2023 will be a Lecturer in South Asian History at #Brunel University in #London.
Please tell me if I'm doing this wrong 
@amandalanzillo Welcome to Mastodon! I'm looking forwards to reading your posts
@amandalanzillo doing it exactly right! (Although title casing multi-word tags is convenient.) Welcome to the dons! 
@zinzy @amandalanzillo Not just convenient, but also important so that screen readers for vision impaired users read them out as proper words. So yeah, title-cased hashtags for the win!
@amandalanzillo Looks good to me.. minor point .. is Mastadoon a fae pachyderm with a Scottish accent? 
@amandalanzillo you can pin your introduction post if you want. I think you can even have multiple pinned posts here.
@amandalanzillo please post your book title when it’s ready to publish. Just returned from India craving a little more history. Thank you for sharing!
@amandalanzillo you're doing fine! Welcome to Mastodon and the Fediverse.
@amandalanzillo Welcome to Mastodon! 
@amandalanzillo greetings and welcome. Eventually I’ll turn back back to my diss, which was on qawwali in the US. So still interested in recent South Asian history.
@amandalanzillo
You did perfectly! And now I have to follow you. :) Each day Mastodon gets easier. So happy you're here!
@amandalanzillo welcome! It does take some time to get accustomed to it because it’s a whole ‘nother animal from the bird site (pun intended). But I’m no longer doom scrolling, and, while I’m still getting to see news that I’m interested in, I’m also seeing enjoyable and interesting toots. Take some time to get to know Mastodon—it’s worth it.
@amandalanzillo Looks great to me. I’ve only been here a few days. I love the vibe. Everyone has been warm & welcoming.
@amandalanzillo I don't understand it either but I'm here as well. Hello from Texas
@amandalanzillo Not wrong at all. Looks good to me. And welcome to Mastodon.
@amandalanzillo
All sounds really interesting. Like to ask you 300 questions over coffee some day!
@amandalanzillo Welcome! The calmness and sanity has been refreshing for me. If you wish, many people “pin” their introduction post so it at the top of their profile. May this site be a great experience for you.
