New blog post by @drandyflack.bsky.social to mark Disability History Month. Andy argues for the need for historians to think about ability, and to consider a more-than-human context. With Alice Would he recently published on this topic in History and Theory historiansatbristol.blogs.bristol.ac.uk 🦇🦉

Excited to finally have this article @histandtheojrnl.bsky.social see the light of day (!). Here, Alice Would and I examine the historical roots of the idea of 'ability' by thinking with dark-dwelling animals, disability studies, and environmental history: doi.org/10.1111/hith...
