Very good on The Great University Disaster. Note it's *not* attacking administrators: indeed unis may be *under*-managed. The point is that extreme, inappropriate corporatization and bureaucratization has destroyed their very purpose, like a virus from within. (1/2) academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

I read this one sentence in an article that said that the custom of cheek kissing in France was rejuvenated after 1968 (having declined in the 19thC), as part of a commitment to equity. No reference!! Anybody know of this true or what I can read on it?

I have to write 1500 words on why the history of the family is important. Thoughts??

@jbhist.bsky.social @katieebarclay.bsky.social @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social I know this is on Open Access but there is still somethings very exciting about having the physical copy. Thank you

The internet says Europeans gave up their kiss as greetings (think cheek kisses on meeting) in the 19thC only to revive them in the 20th. Anyone got some academic sources on this? TIA
