I know I should be saying no to things, but I have to clear my tray to some extent and need to finish an article on the corpse and the national tale (yes another one). But this time I'm arguing that the National Tale registers a shift from the Gothic spectacle of the corpse to one tied to social forces of #biopolitics, the shift from #epidemic death to #endemic death. #NationalTale #Romanticism

Finally digging into Robert Mitchell’s outstanding Infectious Liberty and, boy howdy, is it making me think about the way the National Tale helps conceive and produce the concept of population. #biopolitics #NationalTale #Romanticism

Today I'm trying to finish enough of the section on maternal mortality in #Edgeworth's Ennui and Claudia #Johnstone's Clan Albin to make a passable draft for the upcoming workshop #NationalTale #Romanticism #ScottishLiterature #IrishLiterature #MedicalHumanities

Today I’m finishing my Canvas set up and then working on the historical context section of my #ReproductiveJustice and the #NationalTale chapter—looking forward to going back to Lisa Forman Cody, Sarah Fox’s fabulous giving birth in Georgian England, and Julie Kipp’s Romanticism, Maternity, and the Body Politic

Beginning to pack up my #opera books because I won’t have any time to work on that project until well after I move to the #UMN; right now my focus is on the #MedicalHumanities and the #NationalTale book

Next up in the reading list for my maternal mortality and reproductive justice in the National Tale article #NationalTale #Romanticism
