I’m currently making great progress on the sample chapters. If anyone in my network has recommendations for editors or publishers interested in the intersections of intellectual history, biography, animal studies, and the origins of modern animal ethics, I would love to connect!

I’m delighted to share that I have received an Early Career Fellowship Grant from the Royal Historical Society! This support will allow me to finalise the book proposal for my project: 'Creeds of Kinship: Anna Kingsford, Henry Salt, and the Animals that Shaped Modern Ethics'.

Great to see this published! Huge thanks to all the authors — it was a pleasure to help edit some of the pieces. Issue 8 also marks the end of my time on the RRR board. It’s been a wonderful three years working with such brilliant colleagues.

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight www.cityam.com/the-british-...

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care?

The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

Today is the 145th deathday of Rufus the guinea pig, one of Anna Kingsford's animal companions. In my thesis, I argue that her grief over his death contributed to her growing turn towards an esoteric mysticism and her belief in the immortality of animal souls.

Fig. 1 illustrates a novel approach to research supervision focussed on practical space-based methodologies in history, drawing on insights from peripatetic philosophy. Sadly, @peteryeandle.bsky.social, @danielbreeze.com, and I won’t win awards, as it just looks like some guys on a hike.

It says much when humans are duped by bots that regurgitate human ideas back to them, but are incapable of admitting any non-human (biological) forms of sentience that exist (and have existed for a while...)

Do any fellow 19th-cent historians or Victorianists know if Bradlaugh's National Reformer (1860-93) is digitised anywhere online?

My review of Jeremy Burchardt's "Lifescapes" (CUP) for @socialhistsoc.bsky.social is now available online. An exemplary historical study of the emotional and physical experience of landscape. It's a wondrous book, contemplative and empathetic throughout. doi.org/10.1080/1478...

Good find this morning in Bakewell at Hawkridge Books. It's funny, the owner said, sometimes you have books for years and sometimes you only have them for a week. He had only had this one for a week. I told him I was writing about Carpenter in my PhD. Best of luck, he said.
