Another fantastic few days at the @sochistorywar.bsky.social annual conference! Heard many great papers, got to share some of my research, and caught up with old friends over pints and pursuing the Christmas markets!

Time again for the annual @sochistorywar.bsky.social conference this year in Potsdam. Excited for a couple days of fascinating papers, discussions, and catching up with colleagues!

Excited to head to St Louis for the start of the CRGC Fellowship. I will be working on the experience of Catholic POWs during the Second World War. Also excited for the upcoming lecture by Professor Weisner-Hanks. If you’re interested sign up below to listen in!

Big thanks to everyone who participated at CiC2025! It was a magnificent two days with amazing papers presented. Also very grateful to RegisUniversity CSWE, @achahistory.bsky.social, and Alpha Sigma Nu for sponsoring the conference and helping PhD and ECRs attend from across the globe!

Tomorrow begins the second Catholics in Conference. Excited to hear the amazing papers and have fascinating discussions about ongoing research

In anticipation for the upcoming Catholics in Conflict Conference later this month, we’re excited to welcome Professor Raffaella Perin as our second keynote speaker! Professor Perin will speak on ecumenical relations between the Holy See and other Christian Churches during WWII

This conference is the highlight of my year! My favourite memory of SHoW was at Amsterdam where we had the best Indonesian food at the conference dinner and made so many new connections with researchers outside my own field. SHoW has helped me refine my own PhD work and made it all the better!
