New article OA: For some time, I've been making the argument that the Danish prison system was shaped - both in everyday practices and as an institution - under the weight of escapes. This article sums up that argument by looking at key moments of change: degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

How coerced was “free” #wage labour in early modern Europe? And how did the #mobility of #workers can be explained through the prism of #coerced #labour? Excited to see this out and in #OA! A special 🙏 to the incredible work of the editors (see post below) and ext reviewers!

@amaliasl puts temporality on the table while discussing archival dependecies and co-opting coercive systems @CoercionsInWork Prague conference. And of course I'm thinking she'd be a great addition to the #QMTimeTemporalities cluster!
