I agree with all the takes about an attack on the humanities being an attack on critical thinking, &c. It’s also about joy, though. ‘Why bother studying that’ is always also a sneer at — why do you think you should get to do something you enjoy? Grow up and be miserable all the time!

Thrilled I've got 150 responses to my survey on personal tutoring! I'm aiming for 200 responses, so if you're an academic in UK HE who's had pastoral responsibility for students in the last five years, whatever that's called, with ten minutes spare, I'd love to hear from you. Do share if you can.

New post on refugeehistory.org: were there refugees in 16thC England? Answer: it's complicated - migrants and the state were in the process of negotiating a form of refugee protection, which helps us to complicate notions of Britain's "proud history of welcome": tinyurl.com/bdyevr4d

When is a refugee not a refugee? — Refugee History.

England’s ‘proud history’ of welcoming refugees is regularly invoked in contemporary debates about refugees in Britain. Public and academic histories of pre-modern migration to England support this no...

Maybe we should bring back wearing "a Choice Sort of Black Inck in Hard Balls, with that Conveniency, that you may wear them about you, without any Damage to the Inck, or your Linnen." just mix with any water or wine (except red)!

Advertisement. Robert Pask Stationer, at the Stationer's Arms and Inck-Bottle on the North side of the Royal Exchange, London: Hath made a Choice Sort of Black Inck in Hard Balls, with that Conveniency, that you may wear them about you, without any Damage to the Inck, or your Linnen. Cut a little of it into fair Water, or any Wine (except Red) and it will be immediately fit to write with. It is brought to that Goodnefs, it is fit for Records. The longer you keep it in Ball, Liquid, or in Writing, the better it grows. The Price is Six Pence a Ball. And they are for Quality and Quantity cheaper than any other Inck. Sold only at his own shop.

Some big news: the University of Birmingham is launching a new MA in Gender & Sexuality. It's interdisciplinary, with a focus on combining theory & practice. It's going to be amazing. I'm convening it: message or email with questions. www.birmingham.ac.uk/study/postgr... @unibirmingham.bsky.social

One of the most important things I have learned in my life is that how someone attempts to insult you says an awful lot about them. This weekend, someone in my local community tried to insult me by saying I must be "an illegal" - that is, an undocumented immigrant. 1/

Are you curious about the potential for archival practices to shape the study of emotion; why there are letters in the English State Papers labelled 'mad'; or how the culture & politics of Elizabethan England shaped people's experience of distress?

Stop doing this! Whoever is paying @timeshighered.bsky.social‬ for story after story is also funding environmental vandalism on a catastrophic scale. This isn't journalism, it's naive ethical bankruptcy - and intellectually and pedagogically obtuse.
