HistoryLab 20th Anniversary Annual Conference 2026 — Call for Papers Embodied Histories: Body, Mind, and Experience 17th July 2026 | Hybrid Conference, in-person at University of Birmingham, Staff House, Grand Central Room The human body is both a biological reality and a cultural construct. It is a site of meaning, experience, and power. From rituals of health and healing to practices of regulation, discipline, and display, bodies have both shaped and been shaped by their historical contexts. We invite papers that place the body and lived experience at the centre of historical inquiry, engaging with themes such as medicine, disability, gender, the senses, and the emotions. We welcome contributions that explore how bodies and experiences have been represented, regulated, or performed, and how these processes intersect with broader questions of identity, power, culture, and society across periods and regions. This conference also marks the 20th anniversary of HistoryLab. Since its founding, HistoryLab has provided a national platform for postgraduate and early career historians to share ideas, foster collaboration, and build community. We invite participants to join us in celebrating this milestone year.

Our conference #cfp is now live! This year's conference, "Embodied Histories: Body, Mind and Experience" will take place on 17th July 2026 at University of Birmingham!

Over the moon that the piece appears in such an outstanding journal with such committed editors. Cheers! 🐠

Megyn Kelly v @megynkelly The whistles should be banned.

It’s just incredibly funny this is supposed to be the “freedom” party. It was never about any freedom except their right to be selfish assholes and not feel bad about it.

The Sciencewashing of Everyday Life Fashion, beauty, and food companies are using nonsensical jargon to make a sale.

“Science-speak” has invaded the fashion, beauty, and food industries—even as actual science has come under considerable threat, @elcush.bsky.social argues. She explores the rise of faux-scientific jargon:

1/ A shout out to seriously the most stunning article I have read perhaps ever - Erin Maglaque's in the December @Journalofmoder. I was one of the readers for this piece, and I even wrote in my report that it was such an intense read that I had to go for a walk afterwards to calm down.

It is so strange that crime doesn’t occur where people don’t live.

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
