I will laugh (I mean, cry) when they leverage the Oxman/Epstein connection to try to get the President of mit fired. That’s where this is going to go.

Just what the fuck is this?

Defining science as work & linking it to other forms of labor puts the politics back in its history. For details see our Dec. special issue, co-edited by Lissa Roberts, @alixhui.bsky.social & @sethrockman.bsky.social. journals.sagepub.com/toc/HOS/curr... #histsci

A thrill to collaborate with @alixhui.bsky.social and Lissa Roberts on three coordinated journal publications at the intersection of labor history and history of science. First up, new issue of @historyofscience.bsky.social with a big ol' historiographical essay (open access). Check it out!

First of our THREE-JOURNAL joint publication of on labor history and history of science, including a historiographical essay I co-authored with Lissa Roberts @historyofscience.bsky.social @sethrockman.bsky.social. Look for the Isis and Labor issues soon! #histsci journals.sagepub.com/toc/HOS/curr...

I can live with this. Data suggests this constellation of artists makes me likely to be living in Berkeley… which I am not.
