Historian of madness and disability among seafarers in the long 18th Century
It's good to re-connect with you, Jane!
Yes, that's my plan! Either as an article in a special issue formed around the papers from our two panels at the conference, or as a stand alone article.

Also a huge thank you to @elisaheinrich.bsky.social for your really fantastic and insightful discussant points. I forgot to tag you here before, too busy scribbling your words down! #ESSHC

Lots of familiar names in the programme that I didn't get to say hi to. If the lag time on my face memory meant you saw me and I seemed to blank you, apologies! Everyone's faces are a blur when there's so many of us together (especially when I'm at eye contact capacity 😅)
