My piece for History Workshop looks back at what feels, I'm sure to me and so many other academics in the UK, like a decade-long crisis in universities. A crisis of politics, of a particularly venomous form of "education as market" ideology, and now a crisis of desperate, annihilating job cuts. 1/2

Check out the ADM8 Database that @sarahspa.bsky.social and I have been working on together. We're getting very close to having all the deployment reports live. Maybe tomorrow.
If you know anybody who is working on/researching the Royal Navy between 1673-1691, let them know about this database.

How long would your commute take in 1680? Mine would be about a day and a half.

I’m also on Instagram @ Dr_Charlotte_Mathieson where I post some of the highlights of the research, and my ever-growing collection of 20th century vintage suntanning-culture items… (like this Avon Sunana tanning lotion from the 70s, and 1980s Sindy sunbed)
