On the train into work and my day has already been made #thankyourichard #thechicken #museumofenglishrurallife

oh hi there #ohhitherehistory - for my PhD I produced a pocket-sized web-series intro to #convicthistory and quantitative analysis to help me research the process of adapting history. Check em out! m.youtube.com/watch?feature=…

The ‘academic treadmill’ captured so well by Phil Cohen - #ECR researchers are entering the field with a set of demands and challenges so different from even when I started 8/9 years ago. #AcademicTwitter #phdchat #ecrchat #academiclife #precaritry #scholar #collegiate

“invigorating, refreshing and safe”

Thanks for the local travel tips train station book exchange, booking a mini break to Cornwall ASAP

Finally caught up with #doctorwho Demons of the Punjab - Vinay Patel it was marvellous! Encouraging all of my undergrad history of the British empire students to watch!

Great piece about colonial rivers as roads by Imogen Wegman - I loved getting the train north up to Ormskirk every day passing over the canals that would have been Lancashire's highways a hundred years ago theconversation.com/the-road-to-he…

Trying to decide what to give up for Lent: 1. worrying about getting a semi-stable academic job as an ECR 2. worrying about how to navigate that whilst maintaining a life 3. garlic bread

Transcribing colonial Van Diemen's Land medical records and an "A. Dumbleton" keeps ordering patients to the "asylum." Makes the work much less sad if I imagine all these ex-convicts with supposed mania heading off to a secret wizard school #history #medicalhistory

Weekend spent sanding a Victorian lath+plaster ceiling and sweeping up all the scraps of horsehair that fell from the plaster - a much more satisfying weekend of work than writing my next postdoc app #history #historyathome #victorianterrace #ECRlife

This was absolutely gripping! "The kids' Batman then was Superman... and he could fly, not like today" is my favourite line of the day

Really looking forward to seeing this! Interested to see how it functions as "an ethical inquiry into the consequences of violence" as well as thinking about #convicthistory and the ethics of historical violence on screen nytimes.com/2019/08/01/mov…

Lydia Nicholson introduces a great crowd to the concept of #history. #pintofhistory #hobart Shambles Brewery
