Please share: I am working on the History Lab + & History UK ECR Survey with @kerrymlove.bsky.social . We collating contacts to disseminate the survey to later this year. The survey examines support received by ECRs post-PhD in history or related subjects (such as archaeology and art history). (1/3)
If you're the Head of a Dept / someone who can help in an academic role, I *think* we'll catch you through the institutional list of contacts, but feel free to say hello and make yourself known too just in case! #Skystorians
/ tag and reply with emails here. Me and @jackandrewcox.bsky.social are compiling them to disseminate @ihr.bsky.social, HistoryUK & @historylabplus.bsky.social's ECR survey next term
If you're involved with a society or group (not listed on the @royalhistsoc.org's list) with members who may be ECRs who've completed a PhD in a History related subject, or a GLAM org who support / connect with ECRs regularly - could you email Kerry. Love@northampton.ac.uk saying hello?
Dare you to fund higher education properly too @andyburnham.bsky.social

Presented a paper based on one of the chapters of my PhD thesis today.
I am still keeping this up to date, if anyone wants adding/wants to share, especially ahead of the British Crime Historians conference in September. go.bsky.app/BaHNGzw

Looking to presenting at the 2026 British Crime Historians Symposium at Oxford Brookes University. The other 2 Convict Transportation papers sound great and it's chaired by Emma D. Watkins whose book - Life Courses of Young Convicts Transported to Van Diemen's Land - is one of the best on the topic.

Looking forward to presenting a research paper based on the first chapter of my PhD thesis at @lancasteruni.bsky.social for the @socialhistsoc.bsky.social 50th anniversary Annual Conference at the start of July.
Nostalgia and Radical Politics day 2! A big chunk of today is the workshopping component of the workshop - we've heard most of the papers, let's figure out how to make them into an output!
I presented a paper that emerged parallel to my PhD research on convict transportation by comparing it to radical politics at the workshop on Nostalgia and Radical Politics, Past and Present presented by @errnetwork.bsky.social organised by @menysnoweballes.bsky.social & @siobhanhyland.bsky.social
