I love the silence and stillness of the early mornings, when the world, or at least my little bubble of it, is yet to stir. A couple of birds sing their awakening, a squirrel forages on the lawn, but otherwise, soft stillness, quiet, calm. I notice the flowers on the apple tree now in bloom. I see the sparkling drops of dew, tremulously clinging to the washing line. I smell the grass and feel the air, before it is warm, while it's still sleepy. And I watch my daughter in her bed, shadows and dawn light colouring her skin, her mind now in another world, perhaps singing with hippos, or chasing neon kittens, and feel, more than anything I feel, all the love anyone could ever want.

Call For Pitches: The Losses

Contingent is now accepting pitches for our roundtable The Losses, which will examine the way contingent historians and those working outside of academe have been affected by the recent changes in federal funding for historical work. This can include historians who worked (or still work) for the government, or those whose jobs or projects were (or are) supported by federal funding. Excellent work is being done to report on the effects of these cuts and pressure campaigns; this roundtable seeks to give those affected the opportunity to speak, in their own voices, about what this has meant for them as historians, as workers, and as people.
