New book alert! Coming in September. I’m stoked to have an essay on race and #CivilWar memory in #RDR2 , edited by James Hill “Trae” Welborn III Patrick Lewis from LSU Press.

Preorder is available here… I think your library needs one! #twitterstorians lsupress.org/9780807182598/…

That's the plan.

A great way to end the ISFWWS early-career researcher conference in London today:
Thanks Dr Jenny Macleod Dr Aimée Fox Sofya Anisimova Chris Kempshall and Heather Jones for an inspiring and thought-provoking panel discussion on lessons from First World War centenary commemorations

I’ve always had a certain gravitas…

What a glorious and wonderful day at the FWW Studies Society ECR conference organised by Sofya Anisimova. The research presented was superb and I got to see Dr Jenny Macleod, Prof H Jones & Dr Aimée Fox as well.

Currently at a great Early Career Researchers Conference. Thanks for Sofya Anisimova for organizing this ! FWW Studies Society

The ISFWWS Early Career Researchers Conference at the Institute of Historical Research just started with Sofya Anisimova’s introductory remarks. Now we are off to the first panel on ‘Narratives and Discourses’, chaired by Prof H Jones. Come join us in the Wolfson Room! #twitterstorians

Bumper crop in the post today: a paper copy of Times Higher Education with the feature on mentoring that I contributed to (thanks Paul Jump!), & this week's The TLS with my review of Rick Stroud 's I am Not Afraid of the Rifles - a welcome new addition to the study of women during WWI.

Chris Kempshall Flis Tattersall and I worked together on the latest article to be published as part of our War Ephemera SI for Genealogy MDPI. A reflective piece on community co-production, marginalised histories, and learning to embrace failure. A humbling research experience.

And we are back after lunch, with a presentation about the FWW Studies Society feat. Chris Kempshall and Dr Vanda Wilcox! Institute of Historical Research #twitterstorians

On Monday, 10th June, I will deliver my inaugural lecture as Professor of British Social and Cultural History at the University of Leeds at 5:00 GMT in person and online and all are welcome. To attend, please register using this link:

I personally think it should be disqualifying as a headteacher if you can't spot when kids are very obviously fucking with you.

Please up your game, if it can be called that Today & Amol Rajan and stop pussyfooting about. It isn't difficult to call a spade a spade and report that Israel is quite deliberately blocking aid routes and may be guilty of genocide.

This speech is the root of ALL trans hysteria you see every day in the UK. Was given at a US conference where attendees were told to separate the T first.
Note the intro “…the LGBT Alliance is actually fragile.”

Low and behold what gets launched afterwards - LGB Alliance

This is a good thread. Legum is right. The problem is that, for some of these folks, the mere acceptance of Black, women, LGBTQ, etc issues as worthy of study and teaching goes against what they want all education institutions to be—mills to produce pliant workers & capitalists
