We can now also say that we are supported financially by both SHARP and the Bibliographical Society! A small grant from SHARP will support the running costs of the conference, and the support of the Bibliographic Society will allow us to offer stipends to postgrads.

I'm teaching a session on the study of paper for this (which may or may not be a selling point). The learned line-up of @JosephHone_ , @liamsims and Melanie Wood for a whole day should be a sufficient draw for most of you!

@BarryPierce Afaik foredge painting goes back centuries as a method of both decorating and protecting the edges of the pages. The resurgence in the mid 20thc was both a callback to vintage books and a way to disguise the inevitable browning on cheaply made high-acid paper.

@friede Sounds lovely, thank you!

From today for the next month I'll be in Boston spending some time at the Houghton. I've never been to Boston before and I'll be based in Somerville. Where should I eat/drink/go visit while I'm here? Would love to hear your recommendations!

it’s so lonely being the only one who knows the correct amount of reading to assign students and the correct amount of sociology to apply to literature

@JordanPfot Also imagine if we treated vaccines in the manner of the Cass Review. Overseen by someone who is chosen for a lack of expertise, without consultation with those affected by policy, and widely condemned by international experts.

[Sam has left @18thcsam]

Probably worth reflecting on how we got to this point, where the performance of seriousness requires ignoring the international health consensus and instead relying on a review that was specifically carried out by non-experts.

It's worth noting that the ban on puberty blockers that Labour is about to carry out puts the UK firmly to the right of even some of the more conservative bans in the US. The rhetoric might look different but criminalising(!) access is truly unprecedented.
