Population and production are two terms used to characterize the nineteenth century in Great Britain. For example, the population in England more than doubled by the end of the century due to improving hygiene (i.e., hygeia), increasing birth rate, declining mortality rate (e.g., medical advances), and prosperity. Public health led to a greater commonwealth. The rise of the Industrial Revolution through factories, transportation (e.g., railway), and the synchronization of time stoked the great migration from agrarian to industrial centers. Would the population outstrip production? How could production evolve to keep up with the rising population?

The Revolutionary Possibilities of Singlehood

NeMLA
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, September 30, 2024

Singles have been and continue to be regarded as anomalies and threats to the social order in the United States and elsewhere (Moran). Within the humanities, the growing interdisciplinary field of Singles Studies builds on scholarship in queer theory and gender and women’s studies to highlight the evolution of relationships that fall outside the structure of traditional marriage and the nuclear family to include singlehood and other types of intimate relationships that do not revolve around these conventional models. As more people opt toward relationship models and orientations that do not involve marriage, it is important that scholarship in the humanities reflect this revolutionary thinking.

Call for Papers for Edited Volume on Periodization

Periodization, the act of chunking up time to make units of study, is a fraught practice undertaken by scholars, educators, media professionals, and everyday people. Although largely arbitrary, the ending and beginning dates of a period do much to influence how people outside of the historical profession think about topics such as progression, regression, and the present’s current location in a larger human narrative.
