Bwahaha the only person besides me who wasn't sick just texted that he's sick. The session at #ASECS2026 on Tristram Shandy is cancelled. I feel like I'm in Mary Shelley's The Last Man. Let's reprise @vivzp.bsky.social @sophiecoulombeau.bsky.social @asecsoffice.bsky.social

If you see me at #ASECS2026, try not to judge my scruffy appearance. I’m a guy who likes dark clothes but owns a fluffy white dog who sheds her weight in fur on a weekly basis.

I have not been since 2023 but I am ON MY WAY to #asecs2026 as we speak. I will TRY not to tackle anyone in a fit of enthusiastic greeting, but I make no promises.

Who else overpacked for #ASECS2026?

A screenshot of my paper's abstract with the following text: Historicizing Vaccine Injury in Tension with Disability Justice In this paper, I grapple with one of the thorniest elements of my book project on the literary and cultural history of immunity and vaccination: the history of vaccine injury and the coalition building around its protest. Almost immediately after Edward Jenner popularizes vaccination in the late eighteenth century, medical practitioners, lay healers, and concerned citizens published numerous accounts of vaccine injury, many of which fueled deep anxieties about vaccination's efficacy and medicine's potential harms. This kind of organizing would lead to some of the largest anti-vaccination advocacy groups like the later nineteenth-century National Anti-Vaccination League (NAVL) that specifically responded to compulsory vaccination legislation by claiming vaccines caused widespread disability. On the one hand, these activist coalitions specifically mobilized around shared experiences of debility, disability, and chronic illness (in this case produced by the developing medical establishment that claimed to be invested in staving off these very things). But on the other hand, especially given contemporary disability justice's deep investment in rejecting the long-debunked notion that vaccines cause autism, disability justice would never claim these anti-vaccinators as early disability advocates. How do we tell the history of vaccine injury without reinforcing ableism but also without disavowing the unexpected connections between early anti-vaccinators and disabled people resisting the power of professional medicine and its relationship to the nation?

Finding my way back to my monograph for #ASECS2026. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and folks I adore.
