Do get in touch! The idea for this special issue came out of a fascinating discussion about the messy side of quantitative history – decisions about what and when to count, what is gained and lost, and where next when we have complex tools and misgivings
'French History' is inviting contributions to a special issue on 'Dirty Data and New Quantitative Histories'. Initial proposals due July 2024. 'French History' invite des contributions pour un dossier spécial: propositions initiales, Juillet 2024. academic.oup.com/fh/pages/cal... 🗃️

Deeply sorry to learn of the death of Natalie Zemon Davis, the most brilliant early modern historian of our time, influence on every one of us, and my teacher and mentor for my whole life as a historian. She was extraordinary.
