New article on smell and gender identity by G. Easterbrook-Smith:
"An occularcentric approach thus far may have led to a neglect of the role which smell plays as part of the multi-sensory experience of transness"

115 years ago today, thousands of garment workers, mostly women, went on a strike known as the "uprising of the 20,000." These women fought for both "Bread and Roses"-for their right to enjoy life. That strike not only turned women into a political power but also the ILGWU into a powerful union. 🗃️

Visiting Research Fellowships at Glasgow University Library: incredible opportunity for my friends to come hang out with me!! www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/li...
Hello!! I'm *so* happy to see you.
I also love hearing about everyone’s amazing work, as well as connecting about writing (including…and maybe especially? grant writing), research, and collaboration.
So if you think there’s something that we could pursue together, please reach out!
In the past two years, I also took up rowing. I row an 8 with an incredible local crew.
It was the first time in a long while that I tried something completely new. It’s been life changing, tbh, and I love to “row it out.”
I love taking long walks with my little sidekick, Giovanni Giorgio (H/T to Moroder).
Gio is a well-intentioned but incredibly mischievous 1.5 year old. It makes for extra work, but also…so much fun. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I’m also a co-editor on the Recipes Project, a multidisciplinary blog that is currently in its 12th(!) year.
We talk recipes as they relate to medicine and science, food, magic, art, beauty, making, and digital technologies. Reach out if you want to work with us!

You can read more about it in my recent JBS article "Lavender for Lads."
It tracks the transport of lavender sachets to white English soldiers on the western front.

I’m just finishing up a second book, Scents of Change: Experiencing Modern Britain, 1880-1920.
I draw links between accounts of smells, from sewage to lavender, and expressions of national identity. This includes how some used smells to stake claims to whiteness and ‘Englishness.’
My first book, The Business of Beauty, investigated how criticisms of beautification shaped the buying and selling of British beauty goods.
It showed that women and “foreign nationals” established the beauty industry we know today.

My work explores ideas about difference and belonging as they were expressed through bodies, appearance, and the senses.
I’ve written about how this manifested in the beauty and grooming industry, luxury production and consumption, urban space, and perceptions of smell.
Time for proper introductions! My name is Jessica P. Clark, but please— call me Jess.
I’m a cultural historian of modern Britain, focusing on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Book cover with an ivory chess piece of a knight on a horse on top of a dragon. The cover is tan/wheat color with the words "The Other Faces of Arthur" in yellow, and the words "chivalric whiteness in the Global North Atlantic" are much smaller in black.
Hey #Medievalsky, #PCRS, and #Shakerace
I have a book cover! From Penn's #RaceB4Race series!

I am so freaking excited I could scream!
