👑 The King's Dinner 🍰 will be out this June.
It's our attempt at a truly digital history monograph. Our goal is to tell history. Our approach was to apply digital humanities methods to our historical questions.
I think we've done a good job, and I hope you like it.

It will be published in Open Access by UCL Press. As such, it is the first bishop's Register ever to be published in OA since publication began in the 19th century.
In 2 volumes, the Register charts the path the Church in England took to embrace Protestant reform - a major cultural change.

We appreciate that more & better evaluation evidence isn’t a silver bullet.
But it’s unethical & ineffective to keep throwing money at anti-trafficking interventions without a more nuanced understanding of how they are helping or hurting. 3/
