I'm a bit delayed in posting this, but Enthused to say that I successfully defended my dissertation last week at HistMedJHU and am now a PhD in the history of medicine, science, and technology! It's been a hella long 7 years, and I'm both glad and sad it's done 🥹

Wonderful #histmed talk today by Dr Michaela Clark about photographic space and the clinical gaze in Cape Town CHSTM

Really good list of resources and approaches here. Like all the best guides, it's written for a specific audience (here, independent researchers), but will be useful more generally. The section on shadow libraries at the bottom is well-judged and particularly worth noting.
