First author copies of Black Arsenal: Club, Culture, Identity. Amazing to see the physical outcome of nearly a decade researching Arsenal and Black identity, difference and multiculture. A beautiful book by W&N Orion Publishing 🙏🏽

On a couple of my #WomensHistory #WalkingTours I mention some involved in the #suffrage movement. I'm also planning a specific Suffrage History Walking Tour in #Edinburgh in March next yr. So I was delighted to be asked to review Jennifer Godfrey amazing book 'Secret Missions' 🧵

Dr Zoe Venditozzi Studying history will sometimes disturb you. Studying history will sometimes upset you. Studying history will sometimes make you furious. If studying history always makes you feel proud and happy, you probably aren’t studying history.

Children have a right to an education. We are not their bosses. They are not paid to be at school. If you are not child-centred and do not think supporting children is the first priority of a school, I would question why you have decided on a career in education.

The Grenfell Tower inquiry’s final report is out today for those who were affected. 7 years since the fire I can only imagine how they’re feeling. I know many will be thinking of them as well 💚

My friend is researching black mothers who care for a child with Autism. Please get in a touch and share 😊

This.

The Grenfell inquiry report is out today. It's expected to highlight failures among builders, material manufacturers, sales people, fire-testing experts, politicians and the London Fire Brigade. But it has no power so the Government can ignore it. This is not justice for victims.

Thanks to the fantastic audience for turning out to my talk on #Witchcraft in #Haddingtonshire #EastLothian @witchesofscotland Remembering the Accused Witches of Scotland Still time to sign up for Archive talk & walk to #TheSands Wednesday 11 September

Justice for Grenfell. 72 people lost their lives in this preventable tragedy. Victims of corporate greed and institutional neglect.

I'm really looking forward to talking about the British Empire with David Olusoga on 15th Sept. Do come along to the Royal Geographical Society if you can: howtoacademy.com/events/david-o…

Clive James, not terribly impressed with what Lindsay Anderson did with an Alan Bennett piece, comes up with this line about a sense of humour. It's just made me catch my breath slightly.
