👑 The King's Dinner 🍰 will be out this June.

It's our attempt at a truly digital history monograph. Our goal is to tell history. Our approach was to apply digital humanities methods to our historical questions.

I think we've done a good job, and I hope you like it.

So excited for this book to come out in June. Had so much fun collaborating on it.

George III was a family man, a modest eater, and a thoughtful ruler who wrote about the big questions of the day, from royal sovereignty to the best methods of agriculture to feed a modern nation. His writings provide a glimpse of his version of monarchy, which placed him at the head of a national family, where he embodied the habits of self-regulation and temperance in keeping with the sensibilities of late eighteenth-century manhood. This article brings together George’s meals and his essays, considering the histories of food, masculinity, and self-fashioning, to argue that George was a monarch who embodied a new form of masculinity, as marked by his agricultural interests and insistence on a modest diet. His eating habits, along with his intellectual interests and public persona, bring us to the intersection between the private man and the public monarch. Drawing on newly digitized data, alongside contemporary caricatures and descriptions, and George’s own writing, we argue that moderation was central to George’s creation of an image that appealed to the emerging British nation of the late eighteenth century; food was central to this image, highlighting both his masculine self-control and his ability to be useful to the nation.

It’s invisible to most people in the UK, but any TikTok post that’s remotely political is flooded in the comments with bots saying variations of “vote reform”.
And that’s just got to be swaying young people who haven’t got party loyalties or who don’t consume mainstream media.

Good luck. Make sure you vote for younger candidates when you're able to vote in elections. It's a real oligarchy out there.

I can send you my successful application from way back if it helps. Just send me an email.

I thought I knew every episode. Is this a hidden one?

A Question of Sex? Assessing Lord Mansfield’s “judgment” on the sex of the Chevalier d’Eon

Peter, you're not supposed to start preparing that until January!

Box for Broadcasts is supposed to have everything that was on TV isn't it? Year upon year I end up having to drop clips because they disappear from what I thought was an archive.

I am very honoured to be working with Jin to lead such a brilliant DH centre. We're already busy behind the scenes making plans for a great year for #DH!

Bilingual long term romantic partner is helpful. Super expensive though.

Vote for Sarah and vote for early career candidates. They very rarely get elected in the RHS

You might want to look at explainable AI or "XAI". There are people looking to de-black-boxify AI so we can follow the source base and logic and make sure it's doing good history.

AI tools we can use online change faster than academic publishing timelines, so by the time something's out it's dated.
