Grateful for very selfish reasons that @thenacbs.bsky.social 2025 is happening in Montreal. Hoping that our American colleagues will still be able to (safely) join us.

Finally we have one of our illustrated articles which was selected by Beckie (@beckierutherford.bsky.social)

Nastasha Sartore (@nastashasartore.bsky.social) uncovers how tattooing in Victoria England allowed marginalised women to be agents in shaping their own appearance and identities.

Absolutely buzzing for this collection to be in the world soon! It's both all the things Jon & I needed to say about doing decolonial work on gender nonconformity right now, & a snapshot of some of the people who are doing that work most brilliantly. I'm so excited & so honoured to have all of them.
✨Honoured to contribute to this timely volume edited by
@krheyam.bsky.social & Jon Ward!

I reflect on my experiences researching zhongxing (the middle gender) in Sinophone Asia, exploring how geopolitics shaped gender/sex knowledge.

Very excited for this discussion tomorrow, equally excited to read the book!!
The world is a skip fire but Intimate Subjects is a wonderful book. This is a great opportunity to hear Sim talk about his work in conversation with the equally wonderful @julialaite.bsky.social.

Recommended to anyone interested in histories of Britain, senses, subjectivity, and historical theory.
Join us tomorrow to discuss Intimate Subjects with Simeon Koole!

Today would have marked 52 years of Roe as the law of the land. But Donald Trump packed the Supreme Court with anti-abortion extremists to get it overturned.

This week, he cut off access to reproductiverights.gov.

We must keep fighting for women’s rights.
