New book publication ❗ 📖
Last month, my first monograph was published by the Académie royale de Belgique.
It is a slightly reworked version of my PhD, focusing on the grain prices and the grain economy of 14th-C Flanders 🌿

The Flemish government’s unexpected decision not to renew IOB’s agreement puts €2.64M funding, 32 jobs, key programmes and global partnerships at risk. Support us! https://bit.ly/saveIOB

Biographies linked with publications show that mothers reach peak scholarly productivity later in life, declining until children reach school age, while fathers experience no change. The time costs of raising the baby boom generation led to a loss of female scientists thru failure to achieve tenure.

Earlier this year, Vicky Holmes published 'Living with Lodgers. Household Economy and Social Relations in Working-Class Victorian England'. It is a great book that not only rescues the lodger from the mists of history, but also invites us to question Victorian household ideals. Highly recommended!👇

What is the difference between a historian and a sociologist? A long time scale and bad data.
Perhaps a bit reductive but on point what the data concerns 🤣 Sam Bass Warner being interviewed by Bruce Stave in the first issue of Journal of Urban History in 1974

New Microsoft study estimates that historians are the *2nd* occupation whose tasks AI can mostly cover, based on a large database of its Copilot users & their reported satisfaction.
That AI makes a poor historian is imo not a debate, but the fact that so many turn to LLMs for history is concerning.
