Some of my 📚 have included 50+ photos. I've spent *entire summers* tracking down rights holders + handling clearances. Every copyrighted graphic in 100+ articles and chapters: all researched, cleared, and, in most cases, *paid for*. That's a ton of time, expertise, effort, and (unrecouped) 💰.

H-Science, Medicine, and Technology (H-SMT) is looking to recruit new editors and advisory board members.

Screenshot of the page that the URL in the post points to: H-Science, Medicine, and Technology (H-SMT) is looking to recruit new editors and advisory board members to join its existing team. New editors and advisory board members will play an integral role in shaping the identity of the network as current network staff look to refresh the network and the vital functions it serves. This includes the standard work of disseminating information about CfPS, funding opportunities, etc., as well as taking on new initiatives, like blog authoring, resource page-building or project-building. H-SMT editors are volunteers who share in the network’s responsibilities as List Editors, who manage memberships, the listserv, and blog content on a rotating basis; Special Projects editors who can develop a short-term or long-term project to serve the network; and Advisory Board Members, who consult with all the editors about larger questions and practices to develop the network as needed. This range of positions also allows for volunteers to engage at different levels of commitment and duration. H-Sci-Med-Tech is a network for scholars who apply humanities and social science methods to study science, medicine or technology across a wide variety of periods and regions of the world. While rooted in history, ours is a very interdisciplinary field, bringing together theories and methodologies from across the humanities and the social sciences. With more than 6,200 subscribers, H-SMT is one of H-Net's larger networks and has the benefit of an existing editorial workflow for a new editor to step into or to support an editor focused on special projects. If you would like to be a part of our team, please submit an application by February 1, 2026. We anticipate that newly hired editors will begin their duties in February 2026. Applications should consist of a cover letter indicating the position you are interested in (List Editor, Special Projects Editor, or Advisory Board Member), a curre…

nice piece, "social science and political action were inextricably linked“, „technological progressivism but also social conservativism, praise of entrepreneurship combined with paeans to the idyllic life of the countryside"

In a new piece for the JHI forum on political economy, Federico D’Onofrio discusses the rise of a class of "agricultural economists" as part of a broader trend intersecting with and going beyond "rural modernism" in twentieth-century Europe.
