Probably the panel I was looking forward to the most at #SMH2024 !

This really was an excellent paper, with a lot of thought provoking ideas and points for comparison with the British experience in Germany, and there Brit/Commonwealth experience in Japan #SMH2024

Really enjoying this panel, great presentations by runninghistorian and Dr Hattie Hearn, chaired by Dr. Kate Lemay. If you're not here you're missing out #smh2024
