Article: ‘Unveiling the Magic: A Deep Dive into the Successful Launch of Alice Through the Looking-Glass: A Companion’

While new publications are always a thrill, I was especially delighted to find that Through the Looking-Glass: A Companion was featured by our publishers to explore what makes a successful book launch for future authors, through our two launch events.

They highlighted our unique settings – the birth places of Lewis Carroll’s famous novel, as well as that of Disney’s (and Burton’s!) almost equally famous movies, our engaging programming – our Spectral Science exhibition, and an authentic Victorian Phantasmagoria in Los Angeles, and an exclusive Special Collections Display at Christ Church, Oxford, as well as strong author presence, through expert panels and reflections at both Christ Church and in Los Angeles.

You can read more here – and order our book for your students & library here.

SSHM funding for ‘Histories of Science, Medicine & Childhood Studies’ symposium

Very grateful to have received a small grant from the Society for the Social History of Medicine for a symposium on Childhood Histories of Medicine that my brilliant colleague Dr Elisabeth M. Yang and I have been cooking up! Watch this space for more (soon!)

Excited to be starting the new year with news to have received funding from @sshmedicine.bsky.social for a little something on Childhood Histories of Medicine that @emyang.bsky.social and I have been cooking up – watch this space for more (soon)! #histmed #histSTM
