The East Centre Research Seminar welcomed our erstwhile UEA colleague, Dr Samantha K. Knapton tonight, for a fantastic paper: 'Occupiers, Humanitarian Workers, and Polish Displaced Persons in British Occupied Germany'. Thank you, Samantha K Knapton!

It was a lovely turnout for my talk about my book, but also all the other things which have sprouted from it. An engaging and fun audience of scholars and students from all levels, having such a mix really made it interesting. Thanks again to UEA East Centre for inviting me 🙂

Is anyone going to #ASEEES this year? Dr. Karen L. Uslin, Samantha K Knapton & I need someone to chair our panel on post-war Poland. Can anyone help? ASEEES #History #conference

Second workshop with Queer Britain - this time at University of Nottingham! A lovely talk by QB's new curator, Jennifer Shearman, and some excellent and thoughtful discussions by all involved. #academia #queerhistories #hiddenhistories #KEImpact

#Reviewer2 strikes again. Why would a journal forward on inappropriate comments which were WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS. It is tough enough getting a review back without being shouted at through email #academia #AcademicChatter

A lovely (and generous) review of my book - Occupiers, Humanitarian Workers, and Polish Displaced Persons in British Occupied Germany - in CEU Review of Books today 😊 ceureviewofbooks.com/review/polish-… Thank you CEU Review of Books and Katarzyna Nowak

Research associate job at Strathclyde in my department, looking at intersectionality, children and young people in the criminal justice sector in Scotland jobs.ac.uk/job/DGX918/res…

I loved hosting these workshops. Each time I've learned so much just being able to have the space and time to talk to others about their experiences researching, teaching, and curating hidden histories. Thanks to all who took part 💜 if the funding gods are kind, we'll be back 🤞

🚨The CEH Prize 2024 is now open for submissions! The winning article by a PhD or early-career researcher will be published in the journal, and the author will receive £400 worth of Cambridge University Press books. The deadline is 6 Sept 2024. Full details here: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

To refer to "Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine" in 2024 seems at best poor usage. Areas don't really speak languages, people do. And, those people might speak several languages, and populations don't uniformly speak one language. And, you can't infer an identity from a language.

Absolutely devastated by the news of Agnes Flues’ sudden passing. The absolute best of UCU. Kind, practical, and committed to what she believed in. Our University of Nottingham UCU branch community has lost one of its best. Sending so much love to the people who knew her well. 🩷

My book is now out in Paperback! Thank you Bloomsbury History for the gratis copies 🙏 bloomsbury.com/uk/occupiers-h…

"If you see German soldiers, don't panic. They're here to help," says Polish PM Donald Tusk after announcing that German troops were volunteering to help tackle the floods in Poland

Thrilled to see my book reviewed in H-Soz-Kult alongside the wonderful Katarzyna Nowak's work: hsozkult.de/publicationrev… Thank you to Daniel Siemens for noticing it and sending it through. It's been a nice way to brighten my Wednesday afternoon while in a REF meeting. #UKacademia
