Thanks for sharing, Cathryn. Looking forward to listening. You might also be interested in a podcast called Drafting the Past! They quite frequently discuss writing trade books / writing for wider audiences. It's fabulous. Nelson was the very first contributor. :) draftingthepast.com/podcast-epis...

Excited to be working with @miriamlw.bsky.social on this new collection. Please share and submit. #healthhums #c18 #histmed
From debates between Brunonian, Hunterian, and Boerhavian conceptions of the body to indigenous and non-western practices, we invite scholarly essays that contest and complicate our understanding of the meanings, representations, and practices of health and/or medicine in the period.

This collection seeks proposals for 5,000-6,000 word essays that explore alternative conceptions, practices, and approaches to health in the long-eighteenth century. We expect that these essays will be accessible to a wide range of scholars from different disciplines and hope that they will be written in a way that makes them available to advanced undergraduate readers. 

We particularly invite essays that explore:
Indigenous and non-western traditions of health and healing
Home remedies and homeopathy
Prosthetics and other technological developments for atypical bodies
Intersections of race, imperial networks, and health
Literary renegotiations of health, illness, and care

Please submit 300-400 word abs

Although it's a "romantic" landscape, someone viewing this painting circa 1820 would have instantly recognized it as a modern, artificially planted, and highly managed woodland. In it, Friedrich portrays the beauty of the technocratic values of resource management. Friedrich, Evening, c 1820

Katie Garner reads the female testimony of a coastal encounter w/ a mermaid as example of Donna Haraway's "situated knowledges". Curious to learn about its literary afterlife in satirical fiction? shorturl.at/knsIW

Susan Oliver takes a close look at a familiar sight of the Scottish coast - the Bass Rock. She shows how natural philosophers, writers, & artists in the late C18th & early C19th 'embodied what we now regard as interdisciplinary approaches to knowledge'. shorturl.at/tzEW8

Thanks to Marie Sklodowska-Curie funding, we were able to commission the wonderful Christina Riley to reflect on what Romanticism might mean to the C21st artist. Her illustrated essay on 'Fragments of Romance' is a tender piece on place. image caption below! shorturl.at/vJR56

It's such a special place, isn't it? I can imagine it has its appeal in all seasons. The fire place was a great asset in autumn. Possibly also helps with productivity if it's windy and wet. I'll certainly will try to get back at other times of the year. :)

Back from a residential Writing Retreat at The Burn! What a place & what a great group of researchers. Had great fun facilitating plenty of writing, while also enjoying woodland walks, and playing a game of chess. Thanks to @iashedinburgh.bsky.social for organising!
