Lovely lecture by my fab colleague Adam Chapman on the VCH: ‘Part of the project’s role should be to advocate for archives that speak to their places and communities.’

You might be wondering how this decline in the number of people entering academic disciplines in the humanities affects something like a project devoted to researching, writing, and publishing histories of place (or local histories)? These early career researchers are essential to our work. 🗃️ 1/5

Why should historians investigate the legal profession? Katherine Milliken @katie1973.bsky.social argues that lawyers became key contestors of a more powerful 1970s & 1980s political executive. Out today on #MBSA Histories from Here modbritstud.org.uk/why-do-you-n...

Being at Chalke History Festival reminds me yet again how interconnected university-based history and other forms of history-making are. The thing we do in one place explicitly supports the thing we do in another. University cuts, closures and job losses harm the entire history eco-system.

'What is perhaps remarkable about the Exeter cuts is that they are targeted at some of the university’s most successful departments, many of which turn over a profit even after they have made enormous and increasing contributions to the central university budget.' Read, rage and weep.

The Crisis in Britain’s Universities

The cuts that have been proposed at the University of Exeter demonstrates the crisis of purpose in Britain’s universities. Should not universities also be places to prepare for "eternal dwellings"?
