I loved the Museu do Aljube Resistência e Liberdade - fantastic exhibitions including on clandestine letterpress printing in the resistance

Many thanks to @kathrynpalmer.bsky.social for this fantastic piece on our new PhD program in Computational Cultural Studies

As a book history/digital humanities scholar, I immensely enjoyed this @rarebookschool.bsky.social talk on Warren's term, computational bibliography, as a set of tools to connect the study of artifact (microscopic/Hinman) to ideology (systemic/Darnton). (1/7)

Third Person Limited

Here's another fun announcement. You can now access the first three episodes of Third Person Limited, a podcast on books and culture that I have been working on with my friend, Mason. thirdpersonlimited.com

A schematic of an explanation of a rainbow from Descartes' "A Discourse on Method" showing a man looking out on an arc of light standing visibly in front of him.

Here's a nice announcement. I just turned in the final draft for my first academic book, 'Cartesian Theaters, Shakespearean Minds: Finding Descartes on the Early Modern Stage' to be published with Edinburgh University Press next year.

screenshot of an e-book with PROOFS across the background. The title of the chapter is "Catherine Sanger, Publisher in Bartholomew Close (1687 - c.1731) by Kate Ozment. Opening lines are "Catherine Sanger (active 1713–1717) was a publisher in London who sold literary and religious texts with her husband, Egbert Sanger. Catherine has, until this article, been rendered invisible by a combination of limited traces of her labour, assumptions of masculinity, and scholarly disinterest. This profile details Sanger’s life and contributions to English print history and the methods through which her contributions were recovered as a model for future work."

it's proofs day 😍 Introducing Catherine Sanger. This is another woman publisher that I found after an editor assumed traces of her labor in the English Short Title Catalogue were a typo. A [sic] was put next to her initial, and I spent weeks combing through Ancestry to figure out who she is.

oh hey this looks cool ;)

the rpince of denmark nods in agreement

I'm so excited for the Pittsburgh Review of Books!

thanks for thinking of me - seems like he's found what he needed

🚨 Discourse alert!!! What should you teach engineers who have never read a critique of modernity before? 😰😳

I’d be tempted to throw them right in the deep end with Benjamin’s Theses on the Philosophy of History

What SHAPE graduates do The British Academy has released analysis of what social sciences, humanities, and arts graduates do after graduation. Pablo Roblero and Alfie Denness introduce the findings

As the debate continues about the value of humanities, arts and social sciences degrees, we have published a new toolkit that captures the vital contributions of SHAPE graduates to society, culture and the economy.
