Our 2026 Supplement (#18) "Medicine, Race, and Slavery in the Transatlantic World, 1600–1850" Edited by @hsmurphy.bsky.social (@kingshistory.bsky.social @cemskcl.bsky.social) Has now been published by @academic.oup.com academic.oup.com/past/issue/2...

It feels like Anglo-saxon historiography is : bold hypothesis, three cases, done. French historiography : twenty years of mumbling over parish records to confirm it - and arrive fashionably late to the conversation. 🗃️

In a month we are going to present the Invention of the scientific power couple in 18th century France with @meghankroberts.bsky.social in this exciting workshop! Glad to get to travel after this long writing period and listen to those great papers! couples.hypotheses.org @zoethomas.bsky.social

I’ve had the pleasure to contribute to the last Mixtape of the @jwsfh.bsky.social by putting together 5 of my best reads of the year in Early Modern History. Here is my list as well as the great ones by @jean23bean.bsky.social and Emily Marker !

9. The 2025 edition of the JWSFH MIXTAPE, featuring selections of rad work from 2024-25 by @jean23bean.bsky.social @vlvde.bsky.social & @thewsfh.bsky.social Past President Emily Marker (with amazing original art by @tgpeterson.bsky.social) journals.publishing.umich.edu/wsfh/article...

I travelled to NYC to help launch (last night) Joanna Stalnaker's astonishing new book _The Rest is Silence: Enlightenment Philosophers Facing Death_. The book is a treasure, humane and moving: a vindication both of the #18thc philosophes and of what literary studies scholarship can do with them.

There’s been a great many capitalist dystopian books and art, but most failed to imagine something as grim and pathetic as the President of the United States hawking his oligarchical puppet master’s shitty cars on the White House lawn.
