Venturing into historical sociology with this essay on religious and scientific forms of sexual knowledge - conceptualised here as Biofaiths: brill.com/view/journal...

In the panel on the secularisation thesis and religion past 1945.

Already very fascinated by a paper on Christian feminists finding they are dismissed in the church and disregarded in the feminist movement. #QMCBS

@davidgeiringer.bsky.social & @alastairhackney.bsky.social are studying the vicarage as a space of faith, of home making, of ministry, of community. And it’s place in the crisis of the inner city. #QMCBS

We're looking for a Public Engagement Manager (1yr fixed term) at Queen Mary to work with amazing Centre for Public Engagement team. Public engagement is deeply rooted at @qmul.ac.uk (we have Platinum Engage Watermark!) and this would be an exciting and varied role qmul-jobs.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/...

My first #Delighted post on here! Delighted to receive a copy of @clairelanghamer.bsky.social’s expertly edited collection A Cultural History of Love. Includes my chapter on ‘Love and the Divine’ - featuring Virginia Woolf, the Beatles and Sun Myong Moon - and many other brilliant contributions!

Thinking about a paper on history in the 90s…oooh meta 🤓

As such, we think there are connections to the great special issue of CBH recently edited by @davidgeiringer.bsky.social and @historianhelen.bsky.social — www.tandfonline.com/toc/fcbh20/3...

A book with @davidgeiringer.bsky.social ‘The Anglican Vicarage and Urban Crisis: Parish Ministry and the English Inner City in the late Twentieth Century’ looking at at how the Church responded to urban crisis in London and Liverpool in the ‘long 1980s’, from the practice of clergy living there. 2/5

It's out! After many years in the making, you can read the @cont-brit-hist.bsky.social special issue on the 1990s here. Huge thanks to @historianhelen.bsky.social & @davidgeiringer.bsky.social for masterminding this special issue and including my work in it. www.tandfonline.com/toc/fcbh20/3...
