newbooksnetwork.com/the-art-of-chi… My new book arrives from the printers at UChicagoPress for order today! Bilingual critical edition of 17thC French midwife, Marie Baudoin's treatise on childbirth, plus microhistorical introduction.

Yes, I was raised by a left-leaning primary school teacher, why do you ask?

It's REAL!!!

I must tell you all how much I am enjoying and admiring Robin Bernstein's Racial Innocence! A must read for histories of dolls, race and material culture, so that's three for three for me!

A little taster of my book available now over at The Public Domain Review!

Have we all seen my gal Justine Siegemund on today's google doodle?? She and her illustrations feature prominently in my book Birth Figures, so glad to see her getting some recognition! google.com

Oh yes, so excited for this!!

So, today my new Arts and Humanities Research Council research, engagement and development fellowship finally began, Our little team is assembled and we are ready to go. (Mis)Conceptions: A Cultural History of Pregnancy Ambiguity. Updates to follow.

Are you an artist working in a medical school? (teaching, research or both). Would you be willing to talk to me about your experience and how you see the role of an artist in a medical facility? (It's for a potential new article).

Does anyone know anything written about Gustave-Joseph Witkowski? Because I'm looking at his publication history and he seems too bonkers to be unstudied?? 👀
