The Nursing Clio Reader: Histories of Sex, Reproduction, and Justice

Look what came in the mail yesterday!! It’s real!

Johns Hopkins Press will license its books to train AI models Authors at the Johns Hopkins University Press will be able to opt out of the AI licensing agreement until the end of August; if they do not, their work will be used to train AI models.

“…she had been told the museum was considering removing her painting depicting a transgender Statue of Liberty to avoid provoking President Trump.”

6:30 UK time, not 5:30!

Tomorrow!

Users shouldn’t have to play Russian roulette with everyday products.

This administration has decided that anyone who buys a harmful, defective, ineffective or overpriced product is a sucker, nothing more and nothing less.

Supreme Court allows Trump to fire members of product safety agency A judge had reinstated three members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, a federal agency set up by Congress to be independent of political pressure.

As a historian of injuries and product safety, this one feels personal.

The CPSC can’t do its job without independent commissioners.

Let’s review some of the cases that led to the establishment of the agency in the first place:

ICYMI Early Career Paper Prize 2026!

It entails two good things in one: publication in the journal 2026 & £1000 award.

Another one which the journal excels in: in-depth peer-reviews; every submission gets reviewed by members of editorial board, plus externals.

Any historians know of any secondary literature that deals with French accident/injury insurance in the early 20th century? I'm interested in marketing, whether the state tried to regulate the policies being sold, etc. I've asked this question twice on H-France & ... radio silence.
