- Proofs are in!
- The history of the family as a liberatory knowledge? Me at Psyche. psyche.co/ideas/the-hi...
- I'm not a lawyer and I'm very tired, so excuse me if this is a stupid question: But if the principles of birthright citizenship *were* ever dismantled ... what's the theory for how citizenship would be determined?
- Birth right citizenship has been dismantled in plenty of other high migration places (Australia, UK, Germany). You get citizenship from your parents. When it was removed in the UK in the 1980s, it just applied to everyone born after a certain date.

- I also think it’s going to need a Friday 3pm to Sunday 7am exemption or the drunken weekend chorus will be destroyed. And that’s just cultural vandalism.

- I like how they lure you in with some beautiful handwriting.
- Hoping for some help. An undergrad has a short research project & needs a few digitized British marriage contracts (late #18thc or early #19thC). Ideas abt #archives? Willing to share a photo or 2 from yr collections? Only needs a couple more. #academicsky #skystorians #BritishHistory #womenshistory
- I will have some photos of some somewhere but they’re not that easy to read. Also some are very large parchments (even quite late) so the photos are a bit untidy and need patched together. If you email me to remind me I could have a rake in my files.
- Family histories sometimes summarise the gist of contracts.
- Finally got a hold of my new book. Loneliness in World History. Learn about loneliness but also how we do comparative emotions research.
- ‘Teenage Intimacies’ is now officially out in the world! It’s a history of teenage sexuality in postwar England that speaks to ideas of growing up, adolescence, friendship, family, identity, culture and education. It’s been a long time coming but I’m really proud of the end result! 🗃️ #histsex
- I saw this on a book stall at ESSHC in Leiden today!
- Might be a nice little FOI project for someone @theguardian.com Australia.
- I read this one sentence in an article that said that the custom of cheek kissing in France was rejuvenated after 1968 (having declined in the 19thC), as part of a commitment to equity. No reference!! Anybody know of this true or what I can read on it?

- Yes this is what I read too! And I was wondering why she thought this! Maybe I should just email her…

- They never really explained in the article but I presumed they thought it a more equitable way of greeting people than other modes.
- I have to write 1500 words on why the history of the family is important. Thoughts??

- Not on women but I have a piece on 18thC accounts in the business of emotions book.
- The internet says Europeans gave up their kiss as greetings (think cheek kisses on meeting) in the 19thC only to revive them in the 20th. Anyone got some academic sources on this? TIA

- Preferably France, Germany, Italy. There is stuff for the UK and the Dutch were pretty anti-kiss in general. But really interested in the whole region so whatever is out there.

- It makes zero sense because even if countries hit by tariffs were passive, the US govt just creamed off 25% that could have been shareholder profit. How does that help shareholders?

View full threadThey did PhDs in their 30s and 40s. They spent many years in relative low paid areas of education, took time out for child-rearing, and not all made it to the ‘top’. There is a real gender effect in the careers of women now heading into their 60s.
- And that shapes their savings, pensions, and also their sense that they’re ready to ‘retire’. Some are just hitting their research stride and feeling their contributions to matter. I don’t think this should be disregarded as if retirement is an easy ask for them.

- Our research on academic women who are now at retirement age suggests that relatively few have straightforward 40 year academic careers. Many moved into unis from teaching and colleges as they became unis.

- But at least in the institutions I’ve been in HR has nothing to do with performance management. They do sick leave and help hide sexual harrassment scandals. Performance management is created by academics for academics.

- Universities are in crisis. We have forgotten that the only way to prepare for the future is to imagine the human in situations yet unknown and to explore the boundaries of the human condition. A focus on economic gain loses sight of all that might be possible.

- I think journalistic actually means makes claims that are too general and lacks the precision we expect of academic research. Often leans too much on the rhetorical, rather than factual.
- Our ‘Inheriting the Family’ research is continuing to inspire. Here Ellie Harrison uses it to inform her Loose Ends installation, that explores the complexities of family trees. See it live in Leeds or in online form. loose-ends.dreamingmethods.com/journal/
