At the 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 I helped develop and create the online journal 𝙎𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨, and its second issue is now out! I worked on this issue too but the heavy work was done by my excellent colleagues.

This issue features articles by long-time heavy weights Donald Worster, Jane Carruthers, John McNeill, and Tom Griffiths, but also fantastic pieces by Sara Gregg, Hou Shen, Sumana Roy, and Miles Powell.
