Citizen Science in the 19th and 21st Centuries. 14 May, 2015. 19 June, 2015. People, in that aggregated and collective sense, have much to offer. It turns out that crowds can be fantastically accurate at classificatory tasks; because they can surround and overwhelm the classification, as it were, with sheer numbers. The aggregate responses of many eyes on a problem can be much more accurate than a singular classification from even a highly trained individual. 1867, pp. 184-185. On the Origin of Species.

Parrots Ate Them All. A blog about Stevie Smith and the art of the aphorism. Is There Life Beyond The Gravy? Stevie Smith and Sarah Kane. May 16, 2015. May 18, 2015. It was a wonderfully sunny day; the willowherb waved in the ruins and the white fluff fell like snow. But alas Celia glanced at the blue-faced clock in the Ministry tower it was eleven o’clock. Stevie Smith’s 1947 short story, ‘Is There Life Beyond The Gravy? 8217; shares much of its plot with her 1949 novel. 8216;We’re all dead,&#8217...

I’ve been very busy this summer, visiting archives across the UK to look at their holdings of Stevie Smith manuscripts. Most of Smith’s materials are in the University of Tulsa. Which I’m hoping to visit next summer), and those in the UK are quite scattered. I don’t mind. It’s a nice excuse to visit different cities. View from the upper level of the Brotherton Library.
