Starting to pack for the Military History Consortium conference in Lancaster UK in early June. If you're headed there as well, would love to meet up for coffee (or tea, I suppose) to talk about wartime home fronts. Or just wartime.

If you're in Prague on June 13, feel free to stop by my public lecture on wartime propaganda & the iconicity of Rosie the Riveter. It's at 5pm, Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design (UMPRUM), at Jana Palacha 80, in Auditorium 115. Would love to see you there!

. . . and we're off. A warm welcome from our hosts at Lancaster University at the inaugural #militaryhistoryconsortium conference. A convivial bunch (but the wine didn't hurt)! Centre for War and Diplomacy

It was a beautiful afternoon for a somber visit to Lidice, near Prague, a village razed to the ground (men executed, women sent to the camps) in a 1942 Nazi reprisal. This moving wall relief is part of an emotional memorial. We still remember and honor Lidice's citizens!

Are you the lead investigator on a military project? A convenor of a War & Society related conference? Or an enthusiastic editor compiling a special issue looking for a home? If so we want to hear from you.
