Hier is @bramhilkens.bsky.social zelf nog in actie tijdens de EHS conferentie, met een presentatie over stad-plattelandrelaties en ongelijkheid in vroegmodern Holland.

Very much looking forward to the #EHS100 at the LSE this weekend! Now let’s hope I finish my presentation in time.

Deze week mag ik mijn zegje doen bij Historici Vertellen—lees mee!

Great paper by Anton on male incomes over the lifecycle in 19thC Stockholm. Chances of being poor at old age were much higher for manual laborers than for their non-manual counterparts!

Excellent work by Marcus, super interesting for historians working on wealth, consumption, and living standards!

Our special issue of the History of the Family is out! Recent literature has stressed the various long-term impacts (or lack thereof) of epidemics in history. While new work on this is still welcome, we suggest that the direct costs associated with epidemics deserve additional scholarly attention.

Super interesting paper by @oana-sorsk-id.bsky.social on urban-rural flight, population turnover, and wealth-holding after two eighteenth-century plague outbreaks in Transylvania! Part of our special issue on the direct costs of epidemic mortality, which should be out very soon.

Happy to share that my article on the redistributive effects of epidemic mortality is now published in The History of the Family! It adds to the literature on preindustrial inequality by investigating redistribution of land in the wake of the 1655-6 plague epidemic in Hazerswoude, Holland. (1/12)

Vond Hollands 'Gouden Eeuw' plaats ondanks, of dankzij de Tachtigjarige Oorlog? Wie profiteerde daarvan? Wat voor gevolgen heeft dat voor ons begrip van economische ongelijkheid in het verleden? Zie mijn discussiestuk over Marjolein 't Harts Oorlog en ongelijkheid in @tseglowcountries.bsky.social.

Stef’s is the first paper out for our upcoming special issue on the short-term economic effects of epidemics—stay tuned!

Great to see this paper published!

Happy to see this paper by Daniel Curtis and Bram van Besouw on lifecycle strategies of landholding finally out in the EHR! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
