The Cunning of Desire
This article uses the story of a love triangle between neurologist Henry Head, psychologist William Rivers, and schoolteacher Ruth Mayhew to show how queer desire produced knowledge in the history of science. By tracing the sensuous, erotic, but nonsexual relations between these protagonists across experiments, letters, fiction, and scientific publications between 1903 and 1922, the article shows how queer desire was central to formulations of se…
Bodies, Tides, Timber, and the Global History of London's Docks, 1860-1928
This article examines changes in the bodies and environment of labourers carrying timber imported into London's docks in the 1860s to the 1920s to provide a history of global capitalism from the ground up.

Repurposin…

It examines how the shif…
