“According to a historian of science, @BethLinker, the whole proper posture thing is a scam all across America. People are drooping with relief.” @petersagal discusses Slouch on @waitwait: https://t.co/5xriocqTaq

@ClareMalone I teach a class related to this at Penn. Would be great to talk.

In my review of @BethLinker's history of posture for @thenation, I talk barre class, slouching over desktops in residency (we sit more than we stand), and whether our obsession with posture is a moral panic, pseudoscience, or something in between.

Grateful for the generous review of #Slouch by @zoe_m_adams in @thenation . The review poses a lot of good questions! @PrincetonUPress @jkpapin

We’ve all been told to stand up straighter. But the scold isn’t necessarily connected to our health.

That erect posture is good for you is a truism that we rarely examine or question. But this modern obsession has dubious origins. In today’s Idea, an expert examines the science of posture @BethLinker https://t.co/kgLStV8YZ8

1/ As there's been some chatter about disability, work & Marx on here lately & the theme of this year's #UKDHM (which starts tomorrow!) is 'Disability,Livelihood & Employment', reckon now might be a good time to re-read this interesting article @SJDResearch.

[Beth Linker @BethLinker]

@JenSeniorNY Well your piece from this week had an impact. Trying to think of a way to teach it and operationalize the vision at the university level.
