Stacks and Intersections: Feminist Thinking in Digital Humanities, a view from these islands
Intersectional feminist work around digital archiving can productively develop stack models to address questions concerning the location, site, and materiality of possible and effective feminist intervention. Developing this proposition, we draw on two DH research projects undertaken between the UK and Ireland (2020 and on-going) focussing on work around community archives at a moment of their radical transformation. Asking what feminist DH can b…
Understanding barriers to breast screening: An online survey of non-attenders as part of a service evaluation in the breast screening programme in England
These findings identify barriers that could be targeted to increase screening uptake including increasing appointment availability and proximity, reinforcing the message that breast screening is a female-only environment as well as developing interventions to reduce and manage pain during breast screening
On proximity—exploring experiences of bias and discrimination in digital humanities
This article explores proximity as a critical feminist methodology in digital humanities, emphasizing its role in addressing bias in digital technologies. Drawing on the insights of Virginia Eubanks and Ruha Benjamin, this article argues that those closest to systemic issues possess essential knowledge for creating equitable solutions and advocates for community-led, inclusive approaches to digital humanities research.

Reanimating feminist archives: Ethics and praxis
This study explores the complexities of developing feminist archives with a particular focus on the ‘Feminist Approaches to Youth Sexuality (FAYS)’ archive, created as part of the Reanimating Data project (RAD, 2018-21). Through this case study, we explore the ethical considerations and practices involved in reanimating a landmark feminist study, the Women, Risk, and AIDS Project (WRAP), and emphasize the ethical dimensions of reanimation process…
What’s in a name: The politics of queer on campus
This paper draws upon oral history interviews and archival work carried out to examine the history of the LGBTQ+ student society at the University of Sussex. It reflects upon the significance of the Society’s name change over time (from GaySoc in the 1970s to its contemporary formation as the LGBTQ+ Society) and considers the role of the Society and its members as an active political and sociable group, concerned with a broad range of political a…
The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine
The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine is one of the treasures of National Museums Scotland. This paper re-assesses the circumstances of its discovery, its context and importance, and its role as a relic of a saint, not Moluaf, as previously suggested but possibly Columba. The wider use of handbells in the early medieval church is also considered. The bell-shrine was found in 1814, on the farm of Torbhlaren, in the parish of Kilmichael Glassary, in …

Making museums, making people: The representation of the Sámi through material culture
This article is concerned with five museums created by indigenous sámi people in northern Fenno- Scandinavia. In comparison to most Western nations' museums, Sámi-created institutions are a relatively recent phenomenon. Against the background of changing ideas about museums in the academic world, this article examines what kind of representation of the Sámi past has been created in their museums and, importantly, the reasons why these representat…
