Excited to see 'I Felt All This' is now available to read online through Cambridge Core. Looking forward to seeing it published in print later this month! www.cambridge.org/core/books/i...

This was such a brilliant conference. I learnt so much about histories of infertility, about how to locate these histories, and about how to communicate this work creatively. So many thoughts for my new project! Thanks so much for having me @niamhroisin.bsky.social

Delighted that my latest article in @anchistjournal.bsky.social, 'Challenging the Overseer', has been shortlisted for the Royal Historical Society's 2026 Early Career Article Prize ⭐

Final spaces available for our ‘Locating Loss: histories of infertility in landscapes and spaces’ conference next week @unioflimerick.bsky.social - 27 May. Free, all welcome (booking required) - we have a wonderful line-up of speakers on the day - www.irishhumanities.ie/news-events/...

Alongside being a historian, I work in youth participation, and last year worked alongside Trussell to develop a report exploring the hopes and experiences of young people experiencing financial hardship. You can take a look at the report here: www.trussell.org.uk/news-and-res...

Every single member of the History Department at Uni of Nottingham is at risk of redundancy. Every single one of us.

Really looking forward to being part of this Locating Loss conference in May, speaking on a roundtable about my new project on slavery and infertility. @niamhroisin.bsky.social 's project is brilliant, bringing together historians, health professionals and others to consider spaces of loss.

The problem when I graduated was that there were 200 modern British history PhDs putting in applications for every job, you had to apply for like 50 jobs to get one, and a fair few people left academia before they did. That was unpleasant in its own way, but it wasn’t a death spiral like it is now.

Some really excellent work forthcoming from CUP. www.cambridge.org/gb/universit...

Still one more month to apply for our new grant for under-represented early career scholars. All details below. @universitypress.cambridge.org

Claiming Land, Claiming Water: Borders and the People Who Crossed Them in the Early Modern Atlantic arrived at the houses of Pretzel and Paz Purrmann this week, and their humans (Jessica Roney, and me) were pretty jazzed @pennpress.bsky.social

Thrilled/nervous to be taking over as Chair of BrANCH (@branchuk.bsky.social) from October. Emily has left some enormous shoes to fill (figuratively...), but this is the first organization I joined back in the mists of PhD time, and it's an enormous honor to step up here. www.branch.org.uk

'I Felt All This' has a cover, and CUP have done such a wonderful job! Keep an eye out - it's being published in June.

Excited to see my book, 'I Felt All This': Enslaved People's Emotional Lives in the Antebellum US South, is up on CUP's website - coming out in July 2026! www.cambridge.org/core/books/i...

I was lucky enough to work in the Department of American Studies at Nottingham for a year, and as Emily says, it is a dynamic and welcoming community providing students with a really important alternative to a history degree. Please sign this!

Over the next few weeks, we're highlighting the 8 articles and 8 books shortlisted for this year's RHS Early Career Article and First Book Prizes. Today it's Katherine Burns, ‘‘She died from grief’: Trauma and Emotion in Information Wanted Advertisements’, Slavery & Abolition' bit.ly/3HDuOVZ 1/2
