MBH's next Call for Papers is out - it's a great environment to receive feedback on work-in-progress, so please do consider submitting an abstract!

This is absolutely fascinating (if you love procedural detail..!)

🚨The CEH Prize 2024 is now open for submissions! The winning article by a PhD or early-career researcher will be published in the journal, and the author will receive £400 worth of Cambridge University Press books. The deadline is 6 Sept 2024. Full details here: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

An Olympic #OpeningCeremony should surely be an open goal for projection of cultural soft power, but there’s remarkably little of France on display here… Lady Gaga and John Lennon seem particularly bizarre choices.

One month left to submit papers to next term's Modern British History Workshop!

My article on British abolitionist portrayals of Toussaint Louverture has just been published with Global Intellectual History It builds on research I started while at St Andrews History, very thankful for all who have given help and advice along the way! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

My girlfriend has just published the best article that's ever appeared in any academic journal, ever. I'm not biased...

DEADLINE EXTENSION: Thank you to everyone who has submitted a paper for the upcoming term. If anyone would still like the opportunity to present their research at the Workshop, don’t worry: we’re extending our deadline until the 15th September!

A wonderful day with the National Trust Research volunteers at Killerton. I presented my PhD topic and we then discussed the hidden global histories of country houses and the importance of making them accessible to visitors. Thanks so much to all who attended and contributed!

Call for papers! Email us by 1st October with your proposals. We would love to hear from any PGRs with papers on post 1700 cultural history. forms.gle/LevAnc57RjEngU…

Come and join us at The Mill this evening - chill Modern British vibes being defined as we speak!

If only I'd known quoting The Simpsons in a science journal was academically acceptable, I might have been tempted into STEM. (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…)

If there were ever an antidote to American politics, it is surely two interesting papers on Modern British History... and the wine might help too!
