Really enjoyed presenting my paper on reminiscences of childhood leisure in working-class autobiographies today as part of the SocialHistorySociety conference! It was a very interesting panel

Excited to say that I have signed a book contract with Palgrave Macmillan to turn my thesis into a monograph! Now I had better get writing! 📖

I already find it fascinating to read the autobiographies of everyday people, but it adds a little something extra when you find one signed by the author!

Enjoying a sunny visit to London to record another video for Kapow Primary. I thoroughly enjoyed recording two other videos on evacuation in the Second World War and History in Action for them and today we are discussing the topic of 'historical significance'!
