We are very sorry to learn of the death, earlier this month, of the historian, Professor Anthony Fletcher (1941-2026). A Fellow @royalhistsoc.org since 1976, Anthony was a leading scholar of early modern England. Between 2000-05 he also served as General Editor of @vch-home.bsky.social #Skystorians

"It's impossible to be non-politicised in Cyprus after 1955. But once you leave and move to London, it’s television media, letters to your family back home…you know what’s going on. It’s traumatizing you." thelausanneproject.com/2025/12/12/p...

Delighted to have received my De Montfort University 35 year long service award. Thank you to all staff and students who have helped me on the way.

Despite anti-refugee misinformation, we see in our frontline services every day how refugees already contribute massively to the UK. Our CEO Enver Solomon in The Standard for the "Who's at your table?" campaign with Comic Relief ⬇️ www.standard.co.uk/comment/enve...

We know why people come to the UK: because they already have family here, they speak some English, or they have long-standing ties that help them rebuild their lives in safety.

Episode 4 of 'Glimpses of German History' is now LIVE! In this episode @profpanayi.bsky.social shows us a picture book depicting the work of German missionaries in nineteenth century India. Check out the video on our YouTube channel here: youtu.be/IPHH-uPr8KA

New post on refugeehistory.org: were there refugees in 16thC England? Answer: it's complicated - migrants and the state were in the process of negotiating a form of refugee protection, which helps us to complicate notions of Britain's "proud history of welcome": tinyurl.com/bdyevr4d

reminder we’re kicking off tomorrow 5:30- 7:30pm Hybrid/IHR @profpanayi.bsky.social & @kabcommons.bsky.social will open, then I’ll will speak on history & social studies; @marcloureiro.bsky.social on history & law; and Natalya Din-Kariuki on history & literature. www.history.ac.uk/news-events/...

Political dissent is a democratic right. People understandably feel disenfranchised by austerity & government mismanagement. But violence & racism must never be tolerated. My letter to the Home Secretary urges respect to be upheld & action against all forms of hatred.

The first term's programme for the IHR Migration and Mobility Seminar is now live! www.history.ac.uk/news-events/.... We're hybrid, so if you're interested in migration and mobility across space and time - but also in how we can write better histories of mobility - sign up from anywhere!

Do you want to study History but are worried about clearing? Please consider checking out our History degree courses at De Montfort University. You can find information about the clearing process and our history offerings at our website.

Really pleased and proud to announce a new @ihr.bsky.social seminar - Migration and Mobility History. We want to cover migration across time and space and speak with colleagues across disciplines. If you're interested in attending/presenting, get in touch: www.history.ac.uk/news-events/...

Out now! A bold, new history of British Jewish life since the Second World War. In his new book, historian Gavin Schaffer wrestles Jewish history away from the question of what others have thought about Jews, focusing instead on the experiences of Jewish people themselves. [1/2] #Jewishhistory

A brilliant summary of a brilliant scholar and her contribution to this field. She was completely fearless and inspirational.

Fancy studying for a fully funded PhD? Of course, you do! We’re currently advertising a studentship in ‘war, commemoration & international relations’ in collaboration with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Drop me a line & we can discuss different approaches: www.chester.ac.uk/study/resear...
