Lucy is recovering from her surgery today. She is very confused and a bit wobbly but happy to be home 🥰

Though, in the interests of balance, I also had a complete wobble today - just a massive panic that I've completely uprooted my family, forced us to move 200+ miles, stretched us hugely financially (Bristol is expensive!!) all for a job that may not exist soon. So there's that.

A brilliant piece on the university car park as a totem for the soulless and scrambled priorities of UK higher ed; plus a comments section with retired male academics telling the writer she should get up earlier or read the train timetable more carefully lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/octo…

New article in Women's History Review dropped! ✨If you have an interest in the Irish War of Independence and the history of imperialism, feminism, and pacifism, then just it out! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

As 'The Value of History', Royal Historical Society's new briefing, shows, cuts to history depts hit hardest on historians / students working in post-92 universities. 88% of post-92 depts, responding to a recent RHS survey, report cuts in staffing since 2020. Why does this matter? 1/4

Delighted to see my latest essay is now out! This deals with the representation of working-class women in England and Wales as 'bad mothers' between 1870 and 1939. Thanks to editors Dr Laura Christine Price Laura Harrison & Oli Betts for bringing it together 🥳🌟 taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/…
