I am delighted to be presenting some of my research this Thursday as part of the PANSOC Spring Seminar Series. Come along to hear about quarantines, mask mandates and one very opinionated teenage boy's diary!

I am very excited to be presenting a paper on the antagonistic relationship between California's medical profession and popular press during the 1918-19 pandemic at this fascinating conference. Now to learn as much duolingo Romanian as possible before setting off!

It was a delight to present as part of Panel 8 and hear the other fascinating papers on flu and encephalitis lethargica. Some really interesting discussions over themes of authority, expertise and (in)action in our talks, even with research focuses from across the globe #MEDEP24

We wanted to extend a big thank you to everyone who attended, presented, and organised the Media and Epidemics #MEDEP24 conference in Bucharest last week! We had attendees from all over the globe who made important contributions to research on epidemics #histsci #litsci CHANSE

It was great to present some of my research on resistance to and from mainstream medical authority in California during the 1918-19 influenza pandemic at this year’s #SSHM2024. An enriching conference so far and still more to come!

A busker outside Charing Cross just said "here's some Christina Aguilera for a beautiful Friday... is it Friday? Thursday! Wednesday? It's Tuesday! Wow!" and then started playing Torn by Natalie Imbruglia, and I found her confusion and crumbling grip on reality quite relatable

Two months on and the fascinating discussions at this conference still sit with me and regularly inform my research. The MEDEP project is doing vital work in bringing together academics and their ideas for how to forge new paths in historical pandemic research.

For a glimpse into my research on Southern Californian medical-media relations and mask wearing as a visible marker of popular understandings of contagion, check out my blog below!
