Hello! I am a Canadian historian currently wirking on 19th British sildiers’ mental health. Soon shifting to veterans’ suicide, homelessness, and dislocation. Side interests in heath histories, crime, and scandal. Recent book here!:
I’m working on an article trying to explain why the Victorian army had no concept of psychological battle trauma. But more importantly… my dog and her best friend had their first “pup cup”

I'm slightly out of touch: who is currently working on nineteenth-century medicine? #skystorians Especially interested in PhD students, early career folk, anyone doing jazzy, exciting stuff? Is that you? Someone you know? Ty! ✨

Excited by students’ research in my Victorian autobiography 4th year seminar. They are doing original research projects on everything from Memsahibs as homemakers to Polar exploration to queer self-expression. Fun to teach in my area! (A rare thing recently)

Another incredibly engaging plenary “Savin, Sex, and Scandal: Rethinking Abortion in Early Modern
England” with Mary Fissell. Sadly topical piece. A shame judges don’t actually listen to historical experts on the history. #nacbs2024

James Vernon giving a generous, sprawling talk on oil, colonialism, capitalism, global politics, and racial exploitation. Some surprising and engaging turns. Including… Kung Fu stewardesses!?! #nacbs2024

This is the kind of good news story I am here for.
This feels like the moment for big announcements and a safe space in which to do so. So, huge news:
After literally months of deliberation, History Today has decided to adopt the Oxford comma.

Did a brief interview with LBC last night. Throwback to my clubs research. Find it bizarre that the membership list of the Garrick Club now secret. Used to be a point of pride. Are members only ashamed of belonging to an all male club or are all club lists now secretive?
