Brilliant to see Dr Annemarie McAllister @demon_drink talking so passionately about Temperance on today’s @BBCSoP – Livesey Collection highlighted so well in our archive (and don’t think we didn’t notice the #historymatters badge!). @UCLanHumanities #liveseylife#SongsOfPraise
Academic publishing tip 32: editing a themed volume based on a conference? These have the tendency to be too heterogeneous, which leads to rejections. Set a clear scope for your contributors who can write their work to fit that scope.

Since the 1970s, zines—short for “fanzines,” magazines, or self-published booklets of texts and images, usually made with a copy machine—have given a voice and visibility to many operating outside of mainstream culture. https://t.co/VFIbw21HpE

_Personal note_
