Hello Bluesky, in September I'll be out of contract and would be grateful to hear of any potential teaching (early modern lit) or research (with archives, rare books, humanities data) work. I'm based in SW England. Thank you!

If you'd like to see all the canceled NEH grants at variance with agency priorities that allegedly will fail to inspire your confidence in use of taxpayer funds, go explore impact.ach.org. Then contact your representatives about this outrageous cull.

The National Endowment for the Humanities is an essential force for good. Rare Book School affirms the vital importance of @nehgov.bsky.social in supporting programs and grants that enrich the cultural understandings of our citizens, our communities, and our nation.
A close-up photo of a person’s hands paging through an old book. Several slips of paper are tucked at intervals into the pages. Overlaid on top of this is a block of white text on a dark red background, which reads, “The NEH is an essential force for good, helping individuals and communities understand our past, engage the present, and provide a vision for a better tomorrow.  RBS affirms the vital importance of the NEH in supporting programs and grants that enrich the cultural understandings of our citizens, our communities, and our nation.”
