I suspect that a lot of the lack of concern about sweeping academic redundancies is the perception that academics come from upper middle class backgrounds and can simply fall back on family wealth or trust funds. Nope. I live solely on my job like, y'know, almost everyone else.

As the job rejection list grows longer and more disheartening after 8 months of applications, if you are in need of a researcher or tutor please do get in contact. I have over a decades worth of research and teaching experience as well as a strong publication record.

So pleased to be starting this new project on royalist exiles in Paris attached to Queen Henrietta Maria's court, 1644-60. Thank you @britishacademy.bsky.social for funding this research! @openuniversity.bsky.social

By any chance does anyone have access to the Eastern Province Herald newspaper archive? Trying to locate page numbers for a newspaper article clipping dated February 1926 which have been cropped off.

What is maddening about this debate is that citation practices are not just about AI hallucinations. Scholars should be familiar with the ongoing conversations in their fields. Citations aren't throwaway padding. They are about matters of methodology, ethics, and care. 🛢1/2

You are warmly invited to attend the 5th Annual Lecture in Ecclesiastical History organised by the Centre of Anglican History and Theology (University of Kent & Canterbury Christ Church University & Canterbury Cathedral).

trying to remember the full name of an elderly LCM sister who worked at the LCM's hospital in Rome in the 1950s who I met in Melbourne this time two years ago for my book introduction. All my notes just say 'Sr Mary' - that narrows it down!

In our next lecture, John Guy and Julia Fox will discuss their latest collaboration ‘Hunting the Falcon: Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and the Marriage That Shook Europe’ (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2023), a critically acclaimed re-examination of the Boleyn courtship and marriage. All welcome.
