it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

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
Just out. I've written a major report (with David Edgar) looking at the effect of Covid on British Theatre. You can download it here: www.britishtheatreconsortium.co.uk/britishtheat...

I'm planning an interactive workshop on the senses and medical humanities, to be held in Leeds in July 2026. It will involve creative practitioners, academics, and clinicians. If this is something you'd be interested in attending, please drop me a message or reply to this post and we can chat more!
ON STRIKE AGAIN BECAUSE THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH REFUSES TO RULE OUT COMPULSORY REDUNDANCIES!
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.
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)!
So the onus has to *also* be on students to want to learn and not just teachers whose labor is spread thin already between teaching, scholarship, and committees. We all bear a responsibility to guard our education and humanity (broadly defined) from bots. 3/3

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.

I'll be based at the Rylands from December (2025) to May (2026) undertaking research on sensory experiences and perceptions of cancer. If you're in Manchester during that time, let me know!
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?
