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. @camunicampop.bsky.social has a brilliant tool for calculating travel times in Roman, 1680, 1830, 1911 and 2024. 🗃️ www.travelintimes.org/journey/52.2...

Well it seems very nice around here and, 24 hours in, I should really say hello… I’m a Victorianist interested in mobilities in literature and culture, currently working on various things related to my project on “Cultures of suntanning” in the 19th to mid-20th centuries
