Absolutely loved leading sessions for Durham University’s access and engagement department this week. Sharing my passion for history and getting year 10’s thinking and arguing about the past. So glad my work for Tom Hamilton is useful for more than just a dissertation!

Still really excited with my research breakthrough at the archives today! I managed to date some really useful sources meaning that I can discuss them in my thesis about disability and work. So excited to talk about these people's lives! #dishist #DisabilityTwitter

🌞 Bank-holiday research vibes 🌞#DisHist #DisabilityHistory

Baby’s first academic event! Thank you so much to Civil War Petitions for hosting an amazing week at @MertonCollege . It has definitely given food for thought about the nature of disability in (and after) the English Civil Wars #dishist #disabilityhistory

She got there! After one of the hardest years and worst periods of illness, my MA dissertation on how disability and chronic illness affected poor relief and work in Early Modern Durham has finally been handed in! #dishist #disabilityhistory

I’m massively excited to be featured on the Civil War Petitions blog this week discussing disability and the Civil Wars! #dishist #disabilityhistory #disabilitystudies

We need a campaign to demand a GRC for Brianna, every single one of us need to do this for her. These disgusting politicians who claim that 16 is too young can go to hell, anyone of any age can die, being trans doesn’t change that! #DignityForBrianna

Kellogg College, University of Oxford Thank you so much to our wonderful speakers from Panel 2: Margaret Doyle and Sarah Cooley Sarah Cooley of Kellogg College, University of Oxford, and Olivia Bennison Liv Bennison of St Edmund Hall. There's been so much fascinating early modern content in this session! #nvmh24

Thanks to Midland History for hosting today’s conference. I loved sharing Arthur Aston’s story again but this time as an example of ‘performing able-bodiedness’ as discussed by Alanna Skuse. It was also lovely hearing everyone else’s papers! #dishist #disabilityhistory

The new Chicago Manual of Style is out and it's no longer required to mention place of publication. It's a sad day for Basingstoke.
