This looks brilliant. I've been lucky enough to see see @jameskneale.bsky.social present on this research and its just fascinating. Can't wait to see the whole thing. Recommend wholeheartedly to @drinkingstudies.bsky.social and Victorianists among others....
If you want a sneak peek at my forthcoming book, Temperance Lives: Life Assurance, Drink and Medicine in Britain, 1840-1918, you can read part of the introduction and check out the contents and indexes with this widget bloomsburycp3.codemantra.com/viewer/690c7... @bloomsburyhist.bsky.social

This is appalling, devastating for the staff and students involved (and their families & communities) and shocking in its extent. This is jobs and lives - and a whole sub-discipline (and I know other disciplines are also at risk).
We can not just stand by.
Solidarity to Leicester's geographers.
