#microhistories
Hana VideenI would love to see a 'microhistories' table in my local bookstore! THE WORDHORD often ends up in 'literary history' or sometimes 'history' or 'language', but this is its true home, I think. And it's nice to have a name for one of my favourite genres.

IHC🗣 We’ve opened a call for papers for the workshop "The gains of their sorrow: Slavery, the slave trade, and the rise of capitalism in the other South", which we will host on 19 June 2024.
The workshop seeks to open a debate on bridges connecting research focused on the Middle Passage and the one focused on mines, plantations, urban jobs, etc.

Tim GoddenI’ve been mulling over doing something like this for a while and the exhibition gave me the perfect vehicle to do it. So, here’s the first of my illustrated #MicroHistories in all its booklet glory.
