Starting off July with one of my favourite conferences! #SHS2026 I had the opportunity to speak on a panel exploring the diversity of what social history can be, with my paper on SEND provision in museum education, and I got to chair a great panel on the PGR work emerging from NI's museums!

It was such a joy to share my research at #LHPC2026 and celebrate the work of other postgraduate researchers! @l-h-p-c.bsky.social
