This deep dive into @drmonicahuerta’s The Unintended was as stimulating, generous, and layered as the book at its center. Every conference needs more book panels! #MLA2024 #mla24

no words for how thankful i am to these **wow** folks for making time to talk about THE UNINTENDED at #MLA2024 💜✨

So happy this open source collaboration with @YorkuAMPD PhD alum Vanessa Nicholas is out in @HoP_Journal! We trace early anxieties about photo and privacy. Big thanks to @MuseeMcCordStew for facilitating and @SSHRC_CRSH for essential funding support.

Huge thanks to @Fiona_Kinsey and @museumsvictoria for making this incredible research visit possible! So much incredible material in these collections. Particularly loved this shadowy image of a pioneering woman scientist in her role as avid photographer.
