My book is now available open access on project muse, with OAPen launch coming soon. Hard copies should start going out this week (if they have not already): you can get yours for 50% off with code SAR50.

I had a decent recollection that the answer was yes: omeka.library.uvic.ca/exhibits/sho...

Exciting news! Page by Page is now part of something bigger!

I’m thrilled to announce that, as of this very moment, I am now shifting into full-time work as an editor, dissertation/book coach, and grant consultant for hire!!! Details are in this post (including how to get 10% off all client services!)

NB: the code is valid for both US and rest of world purchases, but as ARC transitions suppliers for their European operation you will need to include it in your email to purchase (which will be prompted when you click on the ROW purchase link).

Just bought @jdsargan.bsky.social's book! I cannot wait to spend time with this text. Use the code SAR50 to slash the price! #medievalsky

One more week to get you abstracts in and meet the new deadline of Friday 31 October!

Deadline extended: abstracts due Oct 31

Congrats, Noreen!

We all know that the UK could have a well-funded university system without heaping debt on the heads of students, if politicians wanted it to.

That's the only thing to say, really. Every dysfunction is a choice. A choice made by politicians, not by lecturers or students.

Deadline extended: abstracts due Oct 31

Deadline extended! You have until Monday October 20th to put in an abstract! #queerbibliography #transbookhistory

@thetransfemininereview.com should put in an abstract!

Poster reads: March 12–14, 2026; Queer Bibliography in the South: Space, Place, Community; University of Georgia, Athens, GA.

Your challenge for this weekend is to put in an abstract for Queer Bibliography 2026. It's what all the cool kids are doing.

The theme is Space, Place, Community (widely understood, certainly not limited to the South). CFP: shorturl.at/XAVJ0; Submit: forms.gle/XD7FgrrStp3j...

Athens GA and online

I was always told (by my mother) that the change to the oat-based bake was a marketing ploy for tate & lyle’s golden syrup (companies merged in 1921), so it’s interesting that none of these early recipes use it.

Evidence!

I have to take a bath when I get home on Tuesdays and Thursdays because my students this semester are SO good (and my brain is SO tired).

It's true: I wrote a book. And what's more, the book is done and soon you'll be able to own a copy. And what's more more, if you want a hard copy you can order one for 50% off now, with the code SAR50. And if you want it digitally, it'll be open access!

@malcolmjnoble.bsky.social: confirmation that sending the code to Wiley along with the other details in the email is the way to go--there will be a proper storefront in due course.

NA code should now be working! @malcolmjnoble.bsky.social: waiting for more info on the ROW site.

For the evening friends.

Ah, got you. It should work, yes. And there will soon be a new website to order direct. Unfortunately release is coinciding with a change in ARC’s EU partnerships (caused by the closure of Amsterdam University Press).

ROW?

Press is working on it!

I'll follow up!

Hi V: this might be my bad, do you mind trying it in lower case? If that doesn't work, I'll check in with the press. It should be up and running, but it might have gotten lost in the shuffle.

Then I'll be in person for my book launch at Binghamton University on November 5th (what up, NY State?); and online again with @medievalacademy.bsky.social on December 5th (more details to follow).

Trans Studies as Book Historical Method J. D. Sargan considers generative modes of reading through the premodern archive to seek out trans lives beyond the ephemeral glimpses that have gone unnoticed in the historical record.

I'm giving several talks about the books in the next couple of months, if you want to hear more (before you buy?). The first, linked below, is online via. UPenn @sims-mss.bsky.social on October 17th at 12 midday EDT.

Getting to OA status has been a labor of love on the part of my editor, Anna Henderson, and myself. We are indebted to UGA and to the Medieval Academy of America. I am really proud that this book will be widely accessible, as is its mandate.
