Had so much fun working on this book with @justinbengry.bsky.social , Matt Cook and E-J Scott, all our amazing contributors and the fantastic team at MUP. Really excited to see it out and on the bookshelves!
Hand holds up book, “A Queer Scrapbook: Britain and Ireland since 1945.”
Currently immersed in this fabulous new book. A Queer Scrapbook knits together letters, oral histories, essays, photos, posters, pamphlets, cartoons, and many other objects that capture some of the rich, messy, awkward, and fun stories of queer and trans folk across Britain and Ireland since 1945.
Wonderful to see this published - featuring a little essay by me about my great uncle Bryan - and dozens of wonderful queer bits and pieces
OUT NOW: The Queer Scrapbook tells our history through the playful, messy, personal stories we save. Huge thanks to MUP and 'dream team' co-editors Matt Cook, Rebecca Jennings and E-J Scott. Check out the book, recommend it, and please share widely!

Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.
-W. H. Auden

A PowerPoint slide showing an artwork by comic-maker Marnie Galloway, in which modern (digital) artists are presented as though they were scribe-artists in a medieval monastic scriptorium. The three modern-medieval figures are surrounded by mythical creatures and leafwork in a modern take on medieval manuscript art.
Comic-maker Kristen Haas Curtis stands at a lectern, looking towards a screen showing a PowerPoint slide. The bottom right quarter of the slide shows a pair of scissors, the blades of which are pointing towards Curtis's face in an alarming/amusing way that makes it seem as though the scissors are coming for her.
A screen showing a PowerPoint slide with images showing 12 pages from Isabel Davis, Conceiving Histories: Trying for Pregnancy, Past and Present (MIT Press, 2025). The images in the book are done by Anna Burel and they are analog/collage art. In the bottom right of the photo Isabel Davis is speaking at a lectern.
Laura Varnam (University College, University of Oxford) presenting her work which is projected on a PowerPoint slide on a screen behind her - the slide gives the title of her paper "Beowulf and Margery Kempe Poetry: Show and Tell".
