Notes from the Field: Large Measles Outbreak in Orthodox Jewish Communities — Jerusalem District, Israel, 2018–2019

Abstract

These notes cover my contributions over 65 years as a member of Phi Alpha Theta, my experience in research and writing about Benjamin Disraeli, my interpretation of the significance for his political career of Disraeli being a closeted gay man, and my research at the Disraeli Project (DP) at Queen’s University in Ontario, where his letters in 18 volumes were being edited. They also discuss the grave setback for me personally and for scholarship generally of the DP being shut down in 2015 and the likelihood that the project is dead, making it likely that only 10 of the projected 18 volumes of the Benjamin Disraeli Letters will appear.
