Nice to learn about @elisaheinrich.bsky.social's research @eui-history.bsky.social in this: www.eui.eu/news-hub?id=... Will surely be of interest to @beckierutherford.bsky.social + other #DisHist folks working on activism.

Excited to see the new volume Early Modern Bodies edited by Sarah Toulalan (2026, but already out)! Also happy that my book History of the Body is mentioned in the Introduction as "an excellent survey of the field published in 2019". www.routledge.com/Early-Modern...

As a disabled historian I am so pleased that History UK (co-funded with @royalhistsoc.org) have published their report on disabled student & staff experiences of #highereducation & history. It makes for a difficult reading at times, but none of it is surprising. www.history-uk.ac.uk/projects/his...

We are starting to plan our monthly events schedule for next year and we would love your input! Would you like to lead one of our sessions? Or do you have any ideas for speakers/themes that you would like to see explored? Please do get in touch! #DisHist

Records of the International Federation of Persons with Physical Disability available at @archivum.org Great holdings, and they also offer fellowships with stipend. #dishist archivum.org/news/executi...

Hi #DisHist / #DisabilityStudies Folks! If you've been awarded a PhD in the last 5 yrs (or due to get one in 2026!) & would like to publish an open access book, this might be of interest: www.peterlang.com/for-authors/... DL: 31 Jan 2026. Seems books can be in English, French, Spanish or German!

Been dipping into this OPEN ACCESS offering by @parkerchronicle.bsky.social recently and there's lots here that will interest #DisHist folks working on any period, not only those in the #MedievalSky crew. www.fulcrum.org/concern/mono...
