I really enjoyed this presentation, and the resulting discussions! I think we were all in agreement that we could have chatted about this for much much longer!

Just read a reference to working in archives as the 'second oldest' profession. am imagining the world where there are only two jobs on offer: sex worker or archivist

had a great time at the Divergent Minds in the Archive Workshop today at Liverpool Central Library. Some really productive conversations about barriers for neurodiversity in using or working with archives - and conversations with really lovely people as well!

Do you host a seminar series or have you seen a recent CFP? Are you looking for speakers working in medical humanities or health histories more broadly?

I'm looking for opportunities to present my current postdoctoral research on the history of cancer. My research covers a wide range of themes and approaches, and I can present on any of the following topics:
- male genito-urinary cancer cases in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and/or nineteenth centuries.
- breastfeeding-related breast cancer cases in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and/or nineteenth centuries.
- sensory experiences of cancer in the early modern period.
- the 'contagious' nature of cancer in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
- 'cancer-doctors' and charlatanry in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

I'm particularly keen to broaden my experiences of speaking to a range of academic, non-academic, and interdisciplinary audiences. I'd like to network with health professionals as well as historians and medical humanities scholars. I can also sensitively tailor my work to suit wider audiences including museums, schools, and undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Please consider sharing my research with your colleagues, and if anyone knows of any opportunities to present, please send them my way!

Taken from my LinkedIn - I'm looking for opportunities to present my work to interdisciplinary, academic and non-academic audiences. I haven't seen my CFPs recently (probably due to my algorithm) and wondered whether anyone knew of any opportunities in the coming months. Please share! Thanks!
