- Reposted by Dr Fabiola Creed🚨Published in the American Historical Review!🚨 My article argues that historians can treat the body as an archive. Using my own training alongside J.C. Hise’s 1930s squat experiments, I explore how fitness culture reshapes bodies, identities & anxieties. 👉 bit.ly/46xlcVw

- 📙 Bluesky is the only platform where I haven’t circulated my book, as I’d recently joined and was waiting for the physical copy. So here it is (last book post, I promise) 📙 ☀️ Sunbed in Britain: Tanning Culture from Fad to Fear is free to download via: dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781...
- Some of the questions it answers are: 🌧️ Why are sunbeds more prevalent in North(-West) Britain? 🚭 Is the sunbed industry similar to the tobacco, nicotine and alcohol industry? 🔥 Can you trust the sunbed industry’s ‘skin’ and ‘health-enhancement’ campaigns?

- Interested in the history of fake tan and tanning injections? My OA chapter explores the advertising claims ('safer than sunbathing/sunbeds') and consumer experiences, focusing on the 1960s to Pamela Anderson's Baywatch era. One of my faves to write: manchesterhive.com/display/9781...
