Excited to announce new OA article with Jane Humphries, 'The economic history of caring labour'. Using historical data on infant feeding, we show how breastfeeding acted as a buffer against weak public health systems and how scientific and technological change reshaped this care work over time.

This is such sad news. I worked with Nicola at the British Agricultural History Society. She always brought such an effortless and infectious positive energy. She could (and regularly did) brighten up even a Zoom meeting. What a tragedy.

With the permission of her family we are devastated to announce the death of our dear friend, Nicola Verdon, who was killed in an accident while riding her bike on 29th December.

Jane Whittle presenting today at the LSE Economic History seminar. A fascinating paper on the gender wage gap in medieval and Early Modern English agriculture.

The first teaching I did when I joined LSE was with Nick. I knew he was a formidable researcher, but was also one of the most compelling lecturers I have ever seen. He took a lot of time to support and mentor me. He demonstrated that a good researcher need not sacrifice teaching or collegiality.
