Made my donation(s)-- and once again, so grateful for the programming the NEH has made possible--that I've organized and that I've attended--including local Humanities Council funded projects and programs.

"Eliminating federal funding for the #humanities saves next to no $$, but it will cost the American people something precious: one of the few federal institutions whose whole purpose is to foster community and thoughtful discussion across the polarities that increasingly divide and depress us." #NEH

More people & projects affected: "The federal funding is incredibly important for Idaho, especially as it prepares to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary since the signing of the Declaration of Independence next year," #Idaho #Humanities council executive director David Pettyjohn said. #NEH

From someone clearly trained in Narrative Therapy: “...being human is being storied. Our identities are built on the stories told about us and that we tell about ourselves .... healing comes from re-storying ... We need our stories to be witnessed in order to heal.” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/m...

It all started with the retelling of a 50-year-old kidnapping, but for readers, it was about them, too.

amidst the too muchness of it all, compelled to share from the rooftops the cover for my book, The Art of Retreat, coming May 2025 and now available for pre-order from @bucknellupress.bsky.social. tinyurl.com/yhunwhzm

Cover for The Art of Retreat: Domestic Romanticisms in the Early United States by Laurel V. Hankins. Cover art is a Victorian collage of a slightly askew sitting room.

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

Breaking things is the point--exactly. (and it's easier than building alas)

Esp the last point--we need colleagues in biz & engineering & comp/data sci & med to advocate for us--they won't have the kinds of students they expect if the humanities & social sciences get gutted or remade into a narrow version of "classical liberal arts" pushed by some out there.

My remarks today at the U of Maryland Convocation, where I was honored and privileged and proud to be appointed Distinguished University Professor—among some truly amazing faculty and staff colleagues from across the entire campus.
