A reminder that I'm available for a range of freelance (historical) research and writing-related tasks. In the past couple of months I've transcribed handwritten texts, photographed documents in archives, copyedited, and undertaken a commissioned organisational/institutional history.

In case you missed it ...
Here's the Nobel prize-winning economist Esther Duflo destroying the claim that foreign workers reduce domestic wages. In fact, they actually help UK workers by adding to the talent base and allowing the economy to grow. Getting rid of them just leads to more automation.

To mark VE day, I am posting an old folder of anti-fascist posters from the Spanish Civil War.
I originally started collecting these to try and choose an image for my book cover, and kept going because they're objectively awesome. Lost many in the last laptop migration, but the best remain...
I'm honored to at the University of Glasgow next Wednesday for the Center for Gender History's annual Global Gender History public lecture to talk about the 18th-century migration stories of "Charlotte from the nation of Senegal" and other enslaved and free black women from West Africa to Nantes.

At least 200 trans people and allies came out to the EHRCβs Glasgow office at lunchtime today to tell them what we think of their bad-faith, discriminatory, transphobic and misogynistic βguidanceβ. Trans power!
