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

[ZC MAG ✂️📝🖨❤️‍🔥 zinesters helping zinesters! @zc_mag]

Have you ever made a zine about a pet? (plants count as pets.) (So does the friendly spider in your bathroom we aren't gatekeepers.)

Acazine-spirit for this pertinent cover of a PhD dissertation. #acazine

[esprit2023 @esprit2023]

@checkpointchaz Congratulations Charlotte, can't wait to read it, and yes, a great title page!

[esprit2023 @esprit2023]

@Marie_LSJ @Seitoung1 Acazine -- which began as an in-conference zine produced by delegates, recording and reflecting on the conference as it happened. Acazine lives on, as a method for academic research, discussion and dissemination

[esprit2023 @esprit2023]

@Marie_LSJ @Seitoung1 then discusses fanzines as media for disseminating research, e.g. these science zines

[John Hanna @HannaJohnM]

Thank you @LBUArtsResearch & @esprit2023 for great organization and a fascinating conference!

_Personal note_

For context on these schools that performed cultural genocide on indigenous people in Canada, here is the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada report.

"The magazine was born on the initiative of the Azione Cattolica association as a catholic response to the secular comics, with the aim of offering to their young audience comics that had positive moral values and which were respectful of Catholic doctrine"
