Historians of empire have spent years carefully saying no, when we talk about “imperial nostalgia” & Brexit we don’t literally mean people want to return to an actual empire, it’s more nuanced and complicated than that, and then he just... tweeted it out.

I interviewed these young women in May for next book..Just did not think we would be at the moment when I deeply worried for their survival. After how much fighting they had already seen alongside the Americans.

What a disgrace @tuiuk . Your staff have just given stickers to every child on the flight to Antalya. Every boy got given a ‘future Tui pilot’ sticker and every girl a ‘future Tui cabin crew’ sticker. This is an absolute shocker and you should be ashamed #equalopportunities

Heartbreaking that this had to happen to Ellie Gould, but will continue to if toxic masculinity isn't quashed from an early age. Current and future generations of boys need to grow up respecting women and not viewing them as their property, entitlement or outlet for violence.

Takes the Guardian until paragraph 8 to name this young woman as Anastasia Yeshchenko, also a historian.

🧵on the value of the post-92s and on research “excellence”. I’ve noticed a tendency among even those appalled by the assault on post-92 humanities departments to focus on our teaching—which is great, yes, but only part of what we contribute to academia. 1/

'In periods of backlash against women’s rights, men clamp down upon our ability to move freely and vigorously outdoors, in public space – through violence as well as sporting exclusions. The history of women’s sport is one of progress and backlash....' Fabulous thread...
