I might no longer be PGR rep, but I was delighted to be re-elected to the @socialhistsoc.bsky.social Committee as an Ordinary Member! Big thanks to everyone who voted for me (and to my fellow Committee members for encouraging me to stand for a new position!)

With #SHS2026 now being done, my time as PGR rep for @socialhistsoc.bsky.social has also come to an end. It’s a role that I’ve been in for 4 years and one that I’ve genuinely loved doing, so I am a bit sad to have to leave it! But I’m very happy to be giving it over to @jainahunt.bsky.social!

As always, I had the best time at this year’s @socialhistsoc.bsky.social conference! There were lots of excellent papers, lots of old and new friends, and maybe a little bit too much wine at the 70s disco… 😅 #SHS2026

Day 3 of @socialhistsoc.bsky.social Annual Conference. Great papers by @davehitchcock.bsky.social on imperial charitability, @ellasbaraini.bsky.social on historicising suicidal feeling. As well as a panel with @louisebell.bsky.social, David Cox, Susan Barton & Lucy Barton on conflict and disability

The next 'Open Archive' event from @womenslibrary.bsky.social ... womenslibrary.org.uk/event/open-a...

Had a lovely, albeit very brief, time at #SSHM2026 this afternoon! It was great to be able to talk about the work we’ve been doing with @ukdishisthub.bsky.social with @sambrady.bsky.social, @disabledarchaeo.bsky.social and Rosemary Cresswell! #DisHist

Knocked Loose in Notts last night was INSANELY GOOD!

I feel very out of the loop with anything going on anywhere atm, so does anyone have any recommendations for exhibitions I should try visit in London over the summer months?

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

I hadn’t actually been in @womenslibrary.bsky.social in forever until yesterday, and god, I just love it in there! ❤️

22 years since one of my favourite ever albums came out?! 🖤🖤

One of the questions yesterday was “what are your favourite history podcasts?” and I had to admit that I don’t really listen to any 💀 But I’m glad my friends understand me too well 😅

I really enjoyed the first day of this today! Big thanks to Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow and @estelleprnq.bsky.social for sharing their expertise and experiences with us. And to @catherinefletcher.info for organising the whole thing!

My favourite part of a session that I attended this afternoon was definitely everybody putting their research interests into the Zoom chat and all of the great connections and potential collaborations being formed there! Plus I love just finding out what people work on 🤓

This Wednesday (29th) we will be joined by @debscavator.bsky.social for our April monthly event! Debby will be joining us for a conversation exploring assistive technology in Ancient Greece. #DisHist Start time is back to the usual 5pm!
