Adding this to my reading list for my module on the body in Australian history.
Looking forward to co-convening this with Kat Rawling and an awesome bunch of colleagues.
Have you used the disability history ‘state of the field’ piece I co-authored with @danielblackie.bsky.social in History (2022) with students/on reading lists or in your research? doi.org/10.1111/1468...
