Had a great day at the UWE Bristol 1831 Reform Riots Project project workshop. I have a long thread to add about where protest history is at now, but that's for later.

UWE Bristol 1831 Reform Riots Project UWE Bristol 1831 Reform Riots Project field visit to the ruins of the gaol (destroyed by the rioters) and Queen’s Square (where properties were attacked and the state massacred the stragglers).

A fantastic trip to Bristol for the UWE Bristol 1831 Reform Riots Project workshop on the 1831 Reform Riots. A truly interdisciplinary discussion on what the historical analysis tells us about the social psychology of riots, and of how we can use social psychology to understand these historic events.
